Water regularly during its active growth period, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months when the plant is less actively growing.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Prune to shape the tree, remove dead or crossing branches, and encourage bushier growth. Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

This helps maintain the desired form and size.

Propagate from seeds, which germinate readily when sown fresh. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in summer. Root cuttings in a well-draining medium, often with the aid of rooting hormone.

Provide warmth and humidity for best results.

Young plants benefit from repotting every 1-2 years in spring to refresh the soil and provide more space. Mature trees can be repotted less frequently, every 3-4 years.

Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot only slightly larger than the previous one.
