Water: Pines prefers well-drained soils and periodic dry spells, demonstrating moderate drought tolerance. Watering once every 1-2 weeks is ideal, allowing slight drying of the soil. Typically grown outdoors, consider seasonal rainfall when adjusting its watering schedule.

Propagation: Propagation methods for pines include seed sowing and grafting, requiring ample sunlight, well-drained soil, and temperatures of 20-30°C (68-86°F). Critical for success, stratification boosts seed germination. Challenges include seed viability and grafting precision, with a moderate to high difficulty level.
