Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in cooler months to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions, especially for young plants.

Prune to shape the tree and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to encourage bushier growth.

Heavy pruning is best avoided unless necessary for structural improvement or size management, as it can affect subsequent flowering.

Easily propagated from seeds sown in spring or summer. Seeds may require scarification or soaking to improve germination.

Cuttings taken from semi-hardwood in late spring or early summer can also be rooted, but require a humid environment and bottom heat.

Young plants benefit from repotting every 1-2 years in spring to refresh the soil and provide more space. Mature trees are less fussy and can be repotted less frequently, or simply have the top layer of soil replaced.

Use a well-draining potting mix.
