Maintaining moderate humidity levels is beneficial for their growth. Regular pruning helps maintain their shape and health.Bodem

A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 can be applied during the growing season to support healthy growth. Fertilize sparingly, as over-fertilization can harm the plant.Verpotten
Repotting is generally not necessary for outdoor trees, but if grown in a container, repotting every 2-3 years is recommended. Choose a larger pot with good drainage and fresh loamy soil. Repot in early spring before new growth begins.Voortplanting
