Pomegranates prefer consistent moisture, especially during flowering and fruit development. Water deeply when the top 2-5 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in late autumn and winter to encourage dormancy.

Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot. Ensure good drainage.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Pomegranates can be trained as a multi-stemmed shrub or a single-trunked tree.

Thin out dense growth to improve air circulation and light penetration, which aids fruit production.

Pomegranates are typically propagated by cuttings or layering. Take hardwood cuttings in winter from mature branches, about 15-20 cm long. Plant them in well-draining soil or a potting mix.

Rooting can also be achieved through air layering or by sowing seeds, though seedlings may take longer to fruit.

Repot young pomegranate plants every 2-3 years, or when they become root-bound. Mature trees in the ground generally do not require repotting. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.

Use a well-draining potting mix. Repot in early spring before the growing season begins.
