Water deeply when the top 5-7 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during cooler months.

Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage in the pot and soil mix.

Prune to shape the tree and remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to encourage bushier growth.

Heavy pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Propagation is typically done from seeds, which may require scarification or pre-soaking to aid germination. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood or hardwood in late summer or autumn, but success rates can vary.

Repot young plants every 1-2 years in spring, or when they become root-bound. Mature trees generally prefer to be slightly root-bound and may not require frequent repotting. Use a well-draining potting mix.
