Cultivation Advice

Outdoors in all seasons. In summer, if you live in a hot region, prefer an eastern exposure with morning sun and afternoon shade.

Abundant during hot weather, the rest of the time water when the top of the substrate is dry. Do not let the root ball dry out and avoid watering the leaves.

Fresh soils rich in organic matter. Repot in the spring, when the buds swell and the first leaves appear.

Pruning shoots and twigs can be done all year round. Strong branches should be harvested in autumn to avoid excessive sap loss, or in summer.

May to October every 2 months
