Water: Mimusops prefers conditions similar to its tropical habitat, thriving in consistent moisture and high humidity. Water every two weeks for optimal soil balance. As an evergreen, it retains foliage year-round, influencing water uptake. Regular misting indoors enhances humidity for better growth.

Propagation: Propagation of mimusops involves seed sowing, requiring post-harvest seed treatment like cleaning and air-drying. Optimal conditions include 25°C (77°F), high humidity, and well-drained soil. Techniques such as scarification may enhance germination rates, which is moderately difficult due to slow germination.
