Water regularly, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the dry season. Reduce watering slightly during cooler periods or when the plant is dormant.

Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot, which this species is susceptible to.

Prune to maintain shape, remove dead or diseased branches, and improve air circulation. Light pruning can be done anytime, but major pruning is best done after fruiting or in late winter before new growth begins.

This encourages bushier growth and better fruit production.

Propagation is typically done through seeds, which require stratification or scarification to germinate. Soaking seeds in warm water for 24 hours can also improve germination rates.

Grafting is another method used for faster fruiting and to ensure desirable traits.

Repot young plants annually or when root-bound, usually in spring. Mature trees generally do not require frequent repotting and are better left undisturbed.

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