Well-draining peat-based mix with perlite or coarse sand. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot.
Keep soil consistently moist during growth season. Allow top layer to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce in winter.
Requires bright indirect light. Direct harsh sun indoors may scorch needles; outdoors tolerates full sun if humid.
Apply balanced liquid fertilizer monthly from Spring to early Autumn only.
Minimal pruning required. Remove dead branches at base. Do not cut into old wood as it will not regenerate.
