These seeds can benefit from cold stratification before sowing.

Prepare small pots by filling them with a compost blend, incorporating 10% vermiculite and 10% sand; alternatively, bonsai soil can also be used. Sow seeds at a depth of 10mm and maintain the compost consistently damp. Maintain an ideal temperature of 21°C for germination, which may take 1-3 months. Be cautious of damping off, and once germination occurs, reduce the moisture in the soil. If germination is slow, consider cold stratification by placing the seeds in a 4°C environment for 2-4 weeks before returning them to warmth. Note that germination can be erratic and have a low percentage, which is normal.

Once the seedlings are of sufficient size, transfer them to clay pots filled with an 8:1:1 mixture of soil, gravel, and sand, or use bonsai soil again. Begin by placing gravel at the bottom of the pot and adding the potting mixture. Carefully remove the seedling from the original pot and transplant it into the clay pot. Keep the soil consistently moist but not overly wet. Gradually expose the seedling to sunlight over a month, watering weekly. Adequate air circulation is essential to prevent root rot.

The plant prefers moderately fertile, well-drained soil in full sun to dappled shade. Keep seedlings under glass during the first winter and avoid overwatering them. After 18 months, the trees can withstand all weather conditions when placed outside. Pot them on as needed and transition to planting in the ground when they outgrow their pots. Select the planting site carefully.

Pruning is unnecessary for this species.
