Well-draining acidic soil; mix of peat, pine bark, and perlite for container growth.
Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering during winter dormancy. High ambient humidity preferred.

Apply balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring before new growth begins.
Shape during dormant season; remove dead branches only. Avoid cutting into old wood lacking needles.
