Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Allow excess water to drain completely to prevent root rot. Reduce watering during cooler months and if the plant is dormant.

Ensure good drainage to mimic its native arid conditions.

Prune to shape the tree and manage its size. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to encourage a bushier habit.

Heavy pruning is best done in late winter before new growth begins.

Propagate from seeds sown in spring or early summer. Seeds may require scarification or soaking to improve germination rates.

Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in summer, but are generally more challenging to root successfully.

Repot young plants annually or every two years, and mature plants as needed, typically when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repot in spring before the active growing season commences.

Handle the root ball carefully to minimize disturbance.
