Care
- This plant is susceptible to snow pressure. In snowy areas, it is therefore advisable to wrap the branches with twine. Otherwise, they may split apart and may not fully recover. When the snow season is over, the twine must of course be removed. - This plant should not be pruned. Only broken or diseased branches should be removed in summer. - Over time, the soil loses some important properties. The plants should therefore be transplanted into a larger pot with fresh container plant soil every two years in spring.
