Teaks trees are tropical hardwoods requiring ample sunlight, consistent moisture without waterlogging, and warm temperatures. They thrive in well-draining, fertile soils with a pH range of 6-7. Common challenges include fungal diseases such as root rot, and pests like beetles. Seasonally, teaks demands more water in the growing summer months, less in winter, and protection from cold drafts. Annual pruning in late winter or spring is beneficial for healthy growth.
