Arrosage, taille, multiplication et rempotage selon les données de la plante

Arrosage

Water thoroughly when the top 5 cm of soil feels dry. Allow soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during the dormant season. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering significantly in winter.

Taille

Prune lightly to maintain shape and remove any dead or crossing branches. This can be done after flowering or fruiting. Heavy pruning is generally not required unless the plant is overgrown or needs reshaping.

Multiplication et bouturage

Propagation is best achieved through seeds, which require scarification or stratification to improve germination rates. Cuttings are also possible but can be more challenging to root successfully.

Patience is key for seed germination.

Rempotage

Repot young plants annually in spring to provide fresh soil and more space. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, preferably sandy.
