Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in cooler months. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Avoid overwatering, as this species prefers slightly drier conditions once established.

Prune to maintain shape and size, typically in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can encourage a more compact form.

Avoid heavy pruning unless necessary.

Propagate from seeds, which require scarification and soaking before sowing in well-draining soil. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in summer, treated with rooting hormone, and placed in a humid environment.

Repot young plants every 2-3 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Mature plants can remain in their pots for longer periods, as they prefer to be slightly pot-bound. Repot in spring.
