Plants in the parkia genus thrive in well-draining soil, require full sun to partial shade, and need regular watering, especially during dry periods. For planting, select a site with adequate sunlight, prepare the soil by incorporating organic matter, and ensure good drainage. Place parkia plants at the same depth as their nursery containers, spacing them to accommodate mature size. Initial care should include mulching, consistent moisture, and protection from strong winds. Note that specific parkia species may have varying requirements.
