Siberian apricot thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining soil with regular deep watering during the growing season. Prune after flowering to maintain shape and improve air circulation, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring. It is moderately cold-hardy and does best in USDA zones 5–8 with some protection from late frosts that can damage blossoms.
