Water moderately when the top inch of soil feels dry. Wenge prefers consistent moisture but dislikes waterlogged conditions. Reduce watering during cooler months to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid issues with overwatering, especially for young plants.

Prune to shape the plant, remove dead or damaged branches, and encourage bushier growth. This can be done anytime but is best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Use clean, sharp pruning shears for precise cuts.

Propagation is typically done by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or by seed, which requires scarification and stratification. Cuttings should be placed in a well-draining medium and kept humid.

Seed germination can be slow and challenging.

Repot young plants annually in spring, moving to a slightly larger pot. Mature trees may only need repotting every 2-3 years. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water accumulation around the roots.
