The licania genus thrives best in well-draining soil with a mix of sand, loam, or clay. These plants typically need full sun to partial shade and require a moderate amount of water. To plant licania, prepare the soil with organic matter, then dig a hole wide and deep enough for the roots. Position the licania in the hole, cover with soil, then water thoroughly. Each licania species may have unique needs, so it's essential to familiarize yourself with the specific species you're planting. Regular pruning helps maintain shape and promote growth.
