The genus milicia generally thrives in well-draining soil rich in organic matter, with a preference for a sunny location that receives ample light. They need regular watering, especially during establishment, but are drought-tolerant once established. Planting steps include loosening the soil, placing the plants at the same depth they were growing in their containers, backfilling, and watering well. Mulching can help conserve moisture. While most milicia species share these needs, variations exist, so specific species requirements should be considered.
