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

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead or damaged branches. Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best avoided during active growth.

Remove any suckers that emerge from the base of the plant.

Propagation is typically done by seeds, which require scarification or stratification to improve germination rates. Cuttings are generally difficult to root. Patience is key for successful propagation of this species.

Repot young plants annually in spring to provide fresh soil and space for root growth. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.
