- Growing Difficulty
- Advanced
- Lifespan
- 50+ years
- Size
- 30-100cm
- Light & Placement
- Full sun is essential. In the growing season, keep it in a sunny, airy spot to grow a firm, compact trunk.
- Watering
- Even in the growing season, water sparingly and only after the soil is completely dry. Withhold water in winter to keep the trunk dry.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- Cold tolerance is low, so it must overwinter indoors. Keep it in a warm, dry, bright spot away from cold drafts.
- Soil & Repotting
- An extremely fast-draining mix is essential. Growth is very slow, so repotting only when root-bound, at the start of the growing season, is enough.
- Propagation
- It spreads by ejecting its seeds. Collect and sow seed after flowering to propagate, but growth is very slow, so be patient.
