Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid soggy conditions.
Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can also be done to shape the tree and encourage bushier growth. Use clean, sharp pruning tools to make precise cuts.
Propagate from seeds sown in spring or through semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require stratification.
Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and placed in a well-draining medium in a warm, humid environment.
Repot young plants annually in spring, and mature plants every 2-3 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repotting provides fresh nutrients and encourages healthier root development.
