Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during warmer months. Reduce watering in winter, allowing the top layer of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Pruning is generally minimal and focused on removing dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain shape and health. This can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the plant.

Propagation is best achieved through seeds sown in autumn or early spring, requiring stratification. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in summer, but success rates can be variable.

Ensure a well-draining medium for sowing or rooting.

Repot young plants every 2-3 years in spring, or when root-bound. Mature specimens can be repotted less frequently. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat, sand, and loam.

Choose a pot that allows for root expansion but is not excessively large.
