Water regularly once the soil has dried slightly, especially during the growing season. Reduce watering significantly during dormancy to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions, as Annona squamosa is susceptible to root diseases.

Prune to maintain shape and size, and to remove any dead or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done after fruiting to encourage bushier growth.

Heavy pruning is generally not recommended as it can reduce fruit yield. Aim for an open structure for good air circulation.

Propagation is typically done by seed, which germinates best when fresh. Seeds require warm temperatures and consistent moisture.

Grafting is also a common method to ensure desirable fruit characteristics and faster fruiting. Air layering can also be successful.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring to refresh the soil and provide more space for root growth. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of compost, loam, and sand, with added perlite.
