Water regularly, especially during establishment and dry periods, ensuring the soil is kept consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering in cooler months, allowing the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth.

Heavy pruning may be needed to manage size.

Easily propagated from seed sown in spring, or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds germinate best with consistent warmth and moisture.

Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and kept in a humid environment.

Young plants benefit from repotting every 1-2 years in spring. Mature specimens are less fussy and can be repotted less frequently, only when root-bound.

Use a well-draining potting mix, preferably one formulated for trees or shrubs.
