Deep, well-drained loamy soil; pH 6.0-7.5 preferred for optimal growth
Regular deep watering during active growth; allow soil to dry slightly between waterings; reduce significantly during winter dormancy
Requires full sun exposure (8+ hours) outdoors to flower and fruit properly; indoor light insufficient long-term
Apply balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring before bloom; avoid high nitrogen late season
Critical: Prune in late winter while dormant to remove dead wood and shape canopy for air circulation
