Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top few centimeters of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering frequency during cooler, dormant periods to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid standing water.

Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

Light pruning can be done year-round, but heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove suckers from the base.

Propagate from seeds, which require stratification before sowing. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in late summer or early autumn. Use a rooting hormone to encourage faster root development.

Maintain high humidity and warmth for successful rooting.

Repot young plants annually or every two years, and mature plants every 2-3 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repot in spring before the active growing season commences.

Choose a pot slightly larger than the current one.
