- Growing Difficulty
- Beginner-friendly
- Lifespan
- 10-20 years
- Size
- 20-50cm
- Light & Placement
- Prefers full sun but also grows in bright partial shade. Ample light helps the trunk swell and improves flowering.
- Watering
- In the spring-to-autumn growing season, water thoroughly once the soil dries. Excess moisture causes root rot, so water until it drains out the bottom, then let it dry.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- Cold tolerance is low; overwinter indoors where it stays above 10°C. It drops its leaves in winter, but this does not mean it has died.
- Dormancy Care
- It goes dormant and leafless in winter, so stop watering or give only a tiny amount. Resume watering when it warms up and new shoots appear.
- Soil & Repotting
- Use a well-draining mix; akadama blended with pumice works well. Repot during the growing season once the roots fill the pot.
- Pests & Cautions
- The plant is toxic, so wear gloves when pruning or repotting. Keep it out of reach of small children and pets.
