Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Overwatering is a common mistake, so err on the side of caution.

Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Use clean, sharp tools.

Propagation is typically done from seeds, which may require scarification or stratification to break dormancy. Cuttings can also be used but may be more challenging.

Patience is key for successful propagation of this species.

Repot young plants every 2-3 years in spring, or when root-bound. Mature plants require less frequent repotting. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid excess moisture retention.
