Cultivation Advice

Accustomed to the warm climate, it likes full sun but during the summer, choose a semi-shaded pitch. In winter, keep it outside but protect the roots from heavy frosts as it does not tolerate prolonged frost periods (location: cold greenhouse or pot protection with winter fleece/glass wool).

Abundant during hot weather, the rest of the time water when the top of the substrate is dry. Do not allow the root ball to dry out completely.

In the nursery, we use agricultural potting soil composed of black peat, blond peat, eco-aged, topsoil, horse manure, pozzolana. Repotting is done about every 2/3 years in the spring

In winter, remove unnecessary branches by chewing the cuts. During the growing season, prune the shoot green.

Universal blue fertilizer (NPK 12 12 17) from May to October every 2 months
