Water regularly, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Maintain consistent moisture, especially during flowering and fruiting. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler, dormant periods.

Prune to maintain shape, remove dead or diseased branches, and improve air circulation. Light pruning can be done after fruiting. Major structural pruning is best performed in late winter before new growth begins.

Aim for an open canopy to promote fruiting.

Propagation is typically done by seed, though germination can be slow and erratic. Air layering or grafting are more reliable methods for obtaining true-to-type plants and faster fruiting.

Use well-draining potting mix for any propagation attempts.

Repot young plants annually or every two years, and mature plants every 3-4 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral potting mix. Repot in spring before new growth commences.

Ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the previous one.
