Well-drained sandy loam or acidic soil; tolerates poor soils but dislikes waterlogging.
Drought tolerant once established. Water deeply during establishment phase, reduce in winter dormancy.
Requires full sun exposure (6+ hours daily). Indoor growth requires high-intensity grow lights due to low tolerance for shade.
Apply slow-release conifer fertilizer in early spring only if growth is stunted; generally low nutrient needs.
Minimal pruning required; remove dead or diseased branches late winter before bud break.
