Well-draining acidic soil mix; sandy loam or pine bark compost; avoid heavy clay.
Allow topsoil to dry between waterings; drought tolerant once established; reduce watering in winter dormancy.
Requires full sun exposure for compact growth and needle density; low light causes etiolation.
Apply balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring before new growth begins.
Prune candles (new shoots) in spring to maintain shape; remove dead branches anytime.
