Water generously during the growing season, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, providing just enough to prevent the soil from becoming completely arid.

Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogging.

Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Heavy pruning may be required for shaping mature specimens or controlling size, but avoid over-pruning.

Propagation is typically done from seeds, which require scarification or soaking before sowing. Germination can be slow and erratic. Cuttings can also be taken, but they may be difficult to root.

Use a well-draining seed-starting mix.

Repot young plants annually or biennially in the spring. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, perhaps every 3-5 years. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current root ball to avoid overwatering.
