Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Allow excess water to drain freely to prevent root rot.

Reduce watering frequency during cooler months or when the plant is dormant, ensuring the soil doesn't become waterlogged.

Prune to shape the tree and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done at any time to maintain desired size.

For more significant shaping, prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Propagation is primarily through seeds, which may require scarification or pre-treatment. Cuttings are also possible but can be challenging.

Successful propagation often requires warm temperatures and consistent moisture.

Repot young plants every 1-2 years, and mature trees every 3-5 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repot in spring, just as new growth appears, to minimize transplant shock.
