Peat-based mix with high water retention or aquatic soil. Needs good drainage but consistently moist.
Keep soil constantly wet during growing season. Reduce watering significantly only when leaves drop in winter dormancy.
Full sun is essential for healthy growth and color change. Tolerates partial shade in hot climates, requires bright light indoors.
Apply balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring before new growth emerges. Do not fertilize during dormancy.
Minimal pruning required. Remove dead branches in late autumn or early spring to maintain shape.
