Water: Indian ash, originating from dry deciduous forests, adapts well to minimal moisture and shows excellent drought tolerance. Water every 2-3 weeks, and ensure well-draining soil to mimic its native arid conditions, ideal for outdoor growth in warmer climates.

Fertilize: Indian ash thrives with bi-monthly balanced nutrition fertilizers, shifting to monthly high-nitrogen in spring-summer for lush foliage. Soil testing prevents over-fertilization. Adjust fertilization seasonally, watering soil before and after application for optimal growth and vigor.

Pruning: Indian ash benefits from early spring pruning, which includes removing dead or diseased branches and thinning dense areas for better air circulation. This practice enhances growth and structure, preparing the plant for vigorous summer activity while promoting overall vitality and aesthetic appeal.

Propagation: Indian ash is a resilient woody species valued for its medicinal and ecological roles. Propagation via hardwood cuttings is effective, requiring clean cuts from healthy branches. Applying rooting hormone and using a well-draining medium, along with consistent moisture and warmth, enhances rooting success.
