Water deeply when the top 5-7 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering during cooler months when the plant's growth slows down. Ensure good drainage in the pot and soil.

Prune to shape the tree, remove dead or diseased branches, and improve air circulation. Light pruning can be done anytime, but major shaping is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Use clean, sharp tools.

Propagation is typically done from seeds, which require scarification and a warm, moist environment to germinate. Cuttings are also possible but can be more challenging to root.

Patience is key for successful propagation.

Repot young plants every 2-3 years in spring. Mature trees may only need repotting every 5-7 years. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has adequate drainage holes.

Use a well-draining potting mix.
