Acidic, well-draining mix of peat, pine bark, and perlite. Avoid alkaline soils.
Keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Increase humidity for indoor specimens.
Prefers full sun in cooler climates; partial shade required in hot regions to prevent needle scorching.
Apply slow-release fertilizer for acid-loving plants in early spring only.
Minimal pruning needed. Shape young trees; remove dead cones and damaged branches in late winter.
