Mine usually die after 2 or 3 years from a scale infestation...
Since I just chop off the affected branches, and don't spray or treat them, i guess that's no surprise... (I provide light & water, other than that they're on their own).
So if you're going to try, make sure you keep an eye out for bugs
I keep telling myself the next one won't be neglected, but until I'm given another one, there's no way to know
