Water: Pometia thrives in tropical climates with high humidity and consistent moisture. It prefers watering every 2-3 weeks but can tolerate short dry spells. Ideal for outdoor growth, mulching helps retain soil moisture and reduces watering frequency.

Propagation: Propagation of pometia primarily occurs through seeds, requiring warm temperatures, high humidity, and well-draining soil. Scarification helps overcome seed dormancy for better germination. The process is moderate in difficulty and requires patience during slow growth. Key steps include scarifying, sowing, and maintaining optimal conditions for seedlings.
