Sunlight during the whole year. The plant develops well under direct sunrays and loves hot climate; in winter it bears temperature until + 10°C.

Water moderately in summer (the plant does not need much water). In winter reduce the watering operations to the minimum to avoid the leaves to wither: every 3-4 weeks in the coldest periods.

Once a month, from late spring to early autumn.

In alternate years, in spring, using mould with a good drainage.

In spring, remove the top of the buds using your fingers, when they reach the lenght you desire. Prune the branches as necessary during the vegetative season. Remove the leaves which grow directly on the trunk and at the base of the branches to create a tree shape.

By cuttings, in any period. A twig and even a simple leave take roots in light and sandy soil.
