Water regularly, especially during dry periods. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Teak prefers consistently moist soil but dislikes waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering in cooler months when growth slows.

Pruning is primarily done to shape young trees and remove dead, diseased, or crossing branches. For timber production, a single leader is often maintained. Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Remove suckers from the base of the tree promptly.

Teak is typically propagated from seeds, which require scarification or soaking to improve germination. Cuttings can also be used, particularly from young, vigorous shoots.

Grafting is another method, often used to propagate desirable cultivars or improve disease resistance.

Repotting is generally not applicable for mature Tectona grandis as they are large trees.

For young saplings grown in containers, repot every 1-2 years into a slightly larger pot with well-draining soil as they become root-bound. This is best done in spring.
