The ochrosia genus prefers well-drained, fertile soil and partial shade to full sun exposure. Water regularly after planting and maintain medium moisture levels. For planting, loosen the soil, place the plant in a hole twice as wide as the root ball and cover with soil. Space ochrosia plants appropriately to allow room for growth. Recommended practices include periodic fertilizing, avoiding overwatering, and monitoring pests and diseases. Some species may have unique requirements, highlighting the importance of understanding their specific needs.
