Growing Schotia capitata is quite easy and it needs little maintenance or pruning. This species can tolerate early transplanting, as long as the plant is not stressed by damaging the roots when transplanting. S. capitata grows very well in warm, sunny areas, in a well-aerated, sandy soil. Supply the plant with moderate water in spring and summer, allow infiltration and drainage in winter, to avoid damping off. Well decomposed compost can be added to the soil for organic supplements. Young recruits of dwarf schotia are frost-tender and may need protection during the cold season, however, the older plants are semi-hardy to frost hardy. Growth rate may be quite slow in colder climates compared to areas with warm conditions, where rapid growth can be experienced. 

S. capitata is propagated by seed and also by cuttings. Dwarf schotia produces seeds late in autumn, which must be sown in spring or summer of the same year of dispersal. Use a commercial germination mix or potting mix to sow the seeds. The growth medium should have good drainage. Sow seeds in trays, provided that transplanting will take place at an early stage. Trays should be placed in a semi-shaded area and kept moist and not wet. Use a fungicide to prevent damping off and improve germination too. 

Strike cuttings in midwinter to early spring, when the tree is inactive. Use washed river sand for cuttings. Drainage capacity should be high and slightly moderate watering is required to allow moisture to stay in the medium. Growth medium should be kept damp at all times and not wet.
