Water regularly, especially during establishment and dry periods. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Pruning can encourage bushier growth.

Minimal pruning is usually required once established, focusing on maintaining a desirable form.

Propagation is typically done from seeds, which may require scarification or stratification. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in summer, but success rates can vary.

Patience is key for successful propagation.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring. Mature plants generally do not require frequent repotting and prefer to be slightly pot-bound.

Use a well-draining potting mix and ensure the new pot is only slightly larger.
