Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter, providing just enough to prevent the soil from becoming bone dry.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Prune to shape the plant and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done at any time of year.

More significant structural pruning is best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to encourage vigorous spring growth.

Propagation is typically done from seed. Seeds may require scarification or soaking in hot water to improve germination rates.

Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in summer, but are generally more difficult to root successfully.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, perhaps every 3-5 years. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one, ensuring good drainage holes.
