Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering during cooler months, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially in container plants.

Prune to maintain shape, remove dead or diseased branches, and improve air circulation.

Light pruning can be done at any time, but heavier pruning is best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any crossing or rubbing branches.

Propagate from seeds sown in spring or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require scarification or stratification.

Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and kept in a warm, humid environment until established.

Repot young plants annually or every two years into slightly larger containers, preferably in spring. Mature trees generally do not require frequent repotting.

Use a well-draining potting mix and ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
