Water: Originating from humid tropics, dryobalanops thrives in high moisture environments and is drought tolerant. For optimal growth, water dryobalanops every 2-3 weeks. Typically grown outdoors, it benefits from mulching to retain soil moisture, mimicking its natural forest floor habitat.

Propagation: Propagation of dryobalanops primarily occurs via seeds, requiring fresh seeds and high humidity for germination. Steps include sowing seeds at 2x their size depth, maintaining 25-30°C, keeping soil moist, providing bright, indirect light, and waiting weeks for germination before transplanting well-established seedlings.
