Water moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil is dry. Reduce watering in cooler months to prevent waterlogging. Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot.

Overwatering is more detrimental than occasional underwatering for this species.

Prune to shape the tree, remove dead or damaged branches, and improve air circulation. Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Avoid excessive pruning.

Propagation is typically done from seeds, which germinate readily after soaking. Cuttings can also be rooted, but are generally more challenging. Seedlings require consistent moisture and warmth to establish well.

Repot young plants every 1-2 years in spring as they become root-bound. Mature trees can be repotted less frequently, every 3-5 years.

Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
