Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your tree remains healthy, it is recommended to keep it in its pot rather than planting it directly into the ground, which allows for better soil control and mobility.
Care Instructions:
- Sunlight: Place in a bright, sunny position. A south-facing patio or a well-lit conservatory is ideal.
- Winter Protection: As this tree is not frost-hardy, move it indoors to a cool room or conservatory once temperatures begin to drop. Alternatively, if keeping it outdoors is necessary, use a plant cozy to provide thermal protection against frost.
- Watering: Maintain moist, well-draining soil, but avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Ensure the pot has adequate drainage holes.
