Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the top 5-7 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter, especially if kept in cooler conditions.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Overwatering is a common issue.

Prune to shape the tree, remove dead or crossing branches, and improve air circulation. This can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Heavy pruning may be necessary to manage size or encourage fruiting, as it fruits on new wood.

Propagate by cuttings taken from semi-hardwood in late summer or early autumn. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Maintain high humidity and warmth to encourage root development.

Repot young trees annually in spring to provide fresh soil and more space. Mature trees can be repotted every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining, slightly acidic potting mix.

Ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the previous one.
