Trimming: Trim lightly in late winter or early spring to maintain shape. Remove any dead or damaged branches as needed. Avoid heavy pruning, as this can damage the plant.
Fertilising: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring to support healthy growth. Avoid over-fertilising, which can lead to excessive growth.
Watering: Water regularly during the establishment phase and in dry periods. Ensure the soil is well-drained, as this plant does not tolerate waterlogging. Mulch to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
Pest Control: Generally pest-free, but occasionally check for spider mites and aphids. If detected, treat with insecticidal soap or horticultural oil.
Disease Management: Be vigilant for signs of root rot and needle blight. Ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering. Apply appropriate fungicides if necessary and remove any infected plant material promptly.
