Water regularly, allowing the top 2-5 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Adjust frequency based on environmental conditions and pot size.

Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove dead or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done anytime, while heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Remove any suckers that emerge from the base.

Propagate from seeds sown in spring, after scarifying or soaking them to improve germination. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in summer.

Both methods require warm temperatures and good drainage for successful establishment.

Repot young plants annually in spring, and mature plants every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues and encourage healthy root development.
