Water: Sandoricum thrives in humid tropical conditions, requiring consistent moisture and weekly watering for optimal health. It can tolerate moderate drought but avoids waterlogging. Mulching is beneficial for moisture retention during the peak growing season, supporting its growth in outdoor settings.

Propagation: Propagation of sandoricum occurs via seeds, air layering, or grafting. Optimal germination requires warmth (25-30°C) and well-draining soil. Air layering is best at the rainy season, while seeds should be sown post-harvest. Challenges include slow seed germination and careful grafting.
