Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogged conditions, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering during cooler months when growth slows.

Ensure good drainage to prevent excess moisture buildup around the roots.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done to shape the tree and encourage a bushier habit.

Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stimulate excessive vegetative growth.

Propagate from seeds sown in spring or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds require stratification for germination.

Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and placed in a moist, well-draining medium. Patience is key for successful propagation.

Repot young plants every 1-2 years in spring, and mature plants every 3-4 years. Choose a pot one size larger than the current one with ample drainage holes.

Use a well-draining potting mix to prevent waterlogging and promote healthy root development.
