Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
Prune lightly to shape or remove dead/damaged branches. Avoid heavy pruning as it can be slow to recover. Best done in late winter or early spring.
Easier from cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Seed propagation is possible but can be slow and less reliable.
Young plants may need repotting every 2-3 years. Mature trees generally do not require repotting. Use a well-draining potting mix.
