Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during dry periods. Franklin Tree prefers even moisture and can be sensitive to drought.

Water deeply when the top few centimeters of soil feel dry to the touch. Reduce watering slightly in winter.

Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Franklin Tree generally maintains a desirable shape naturally.

Avoid heavy pruning, as this can reduce flowering and overall plant vigor. Focus on maintaining a good structure.

Propagation is best done from seed, which requires stratification. Sow seeds in fall outdoors or stratify artificially by refrigerating for 3-4 months before sowing in spring.

Cuttings are difficult to root, but semi-ripe cuttings taken in summer may have some success.

Repot young Franklin Trees every 2-3 years in spring before new growth begins. Use a well-draining, slightly acidic potting mix. Established trees rarely need repotting and prefer to be left undisturbed once settled.

Choose a pot slightly larger than the current one.
