Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter to prevent waterlogging.

Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot, as this species prefers consistently moist but not saturated conditions.

Prune to shape the plant and remove dead or damaged branches. Light pruning can be done in late spring after flowering. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the plant.

The goal is to maintain a natural, attractive form and encourage air circulation.

Propagation is typically done from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Root cuttings in a well-draining, sterile medium. Provide bottom heat and high humidity to encourage successful rooting.

Patience is key for this method.

Repot young plants every two to three years, or when root-bound, preferably in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix.

For mature trees, repotting is less frequent, perhaps every five years, and only if necessary to refresh the soil or address root issues.
