Features:

Location:
Direct sun is very dangerous, even if it is for a few hours in the evening or early morning. Protection from strong winds is a must.

Soil:
Light and airy soils are preferred. You can use: a mixture of acadam, kanuma and leafy soil (1 : 1 : 2) or
humus, leafy soil, sand and peat (3 : 2 : 2 : 2 : 1).

Watering:
Regular watering, does not tolerate drying of the soil. Does not like excessive lime, so it is important to water with quality water. Avoid overwatering. Spraying at temperatures above +18 ºC is useful, but without water droplets accumulating in the conifers - a light mist is enough to refresh the plant. It is recommended to install trays with wet stones to moisten the air near the plant.

Fertilizer:
Fertilize from spring through fall.

Repotting:
Every two to three years into a standard soil mix in spring with the onset of growth or in late summer.

Shaping and pruning:
