Pterocarpus indicus prefers consistent moisture, especially when young. Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry.

Reduce watering during cooler months, allowing the soil to dry out slightly more between waterings. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, as it dislikes waterlogged conditions.

Prune Pterocarpus indicus to shape the tree, remove dead or crossing branches, and improve air circulation.

Light pruning can be done anytime, but major structural pruning is best performed during late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Aim for a well-spaced, open canopy.

Propagation is typically done through seeds, which require scarification or soaking before planting. It can also be propagated from stem cuttings, although this method may be less successful.

Softwood cuttings taken in spring have the best chance of rooting successfully when placed in moist, well-draining soil.

Young Pterocarpus indicus plants may need repotting every 2-3 years, while mature trees generally do not require frequent repotting. Repot in spring before the active growing season commences.

Use a well-draining potting mix and a slightly larger container to accommodate root growth, ensuring not to disturb the root ball excessively.
