Instructions d'entretien
Natal Plum thrives in bright, direct sunlight and prefers moderate temperatures. It can tolerate dry conditions but benefits from occasional watering. The plant does well in average humidity levels and should be protected from frost. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages new growth.Sol
Carissa macrocarpa prefers sandy soil with good drainage. It can tolerate poor soil conditions but thrives in moderately fertile soil. Ensure the soil dries out almost completely between waterings to prevent root rot.Engrais
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically every 4-6 weeks, to promote healthy growth and fruit production.Rempotage
Repotting is generally not necessary for outdoor plants, but if grown in a container, repot every 2-3 years. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage and fresh sandy soil. Repot in the spring before the growing season begins.Propagation
Propagate Natal Plum through seeds or cuttings. Take semi-hardwood cuttings in late spring or early summer and root them in a well-draining soil mix. Seeds can be sown in the spring after the last frost.Taille
Prune Natal Plum regularly to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Pruning can be done throughout the year but is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.Toxicité
