Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently, especially during dry periods. Allow the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings for established plants. Reduce watering in winter dormancy.
Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This helps maintain the tree's shape and promotes healthy growth. Avoid heavy pruning.
Propagate from seeds sown in autumn or spring, or by taking semi-hardwood cuttings in summer. Seed germination can be erratic. Cuttings may require bottom heat and a well-draining medium.
Repot young plants every 2-3 years in spring. Mature trees are best left undisturbed, or repot only when necessary. Use a well-draining potting mix. Ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the previous one.
