Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter to prevent waterlogging.

Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot, especially in containers.

Prune to shape the tree and manage its size, typically after flowering. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

Pruning can also encourage bushier growth if desired, but heavy pruning should be done cautiously to avoid stressing the plant.

Propagation is best achieved by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Use a rooting hormone and place in a well-draining, moist medium in a warm, humid environment.

Seed propagation is also possible but may yield variable results.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring as they become root-bound. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently. Use a well-draining potting mix and a slightly larger pot to accommodate root growth.
