Outdoor Management
Direct sunlight in the summer can cause the plant to wither and burn the leaves, so it is best to grow it in partial shade or bright shade.
It is important to ensure proper ventilation. Avoid placing them in a location where they will be directly exposed to the wind from an air conditioner. This will cause uneven drying and damage the plant. Also, if you expose the plant to outdoor air and rain as much as possible, the plant will be refreshed and will grow healthily. The guideline for watering is once a day in summer, but if the water does not seem to be dry, there is no need to force it. Also, watering the leaves in hot seasons is effective in preventing the leaves from drying out and maintaining their health. It is a good idea to spray it in the morning or evening.

Pests & Diseases
This tree is very resistant to pests and diseases, but insects may occasionally appear. Remove them as soon as you find them.
It is relatively not picky about soil, but does prefer fertile soil, so it is common to use Akadama mixed with leaf mold or compost.
Soil
As a guideline, repot about once every 2 to 3 years. The best time to do so is in the spring, but after repotting, care must be taken to avoid exposing it to too much cold. Remove it from the pot, cut back about half of the old roots, and replant it. When moving it to a slightly larger pot, be sure to treat the roots properly. The trick is to cut the thick roots and leave the thin ones During the growing season, elongated branches (extremely long, strong branches) will grow, so prune these branches to shape the tree. Pruning should be done with the idea of ​shaping the outline. Since it is a very hardy plant, if you cut it back short without thinking too much about it, new shoots will eventually appear.
