Rauvolfia serpentina requires bright, indirect light and thrives in warm, humid conditions. It prefers consistently moist soil and should be watered regularly to maintain soil moisture. The plant does well in moderate temperatures and high humidity. Regular pruning is recommended to maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth.
Sol
The plant prefers loamy soil that is rich in organic matter and well-draining. It thrives in soil that is kept consistently moist but not waterlogged. A soil pH of around 6.5 is ideal for optimal growth.
Engrais
Rauvolfia serpentina benefits from a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to support its nutrient needs.
Rempotage
Repot the plant every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, place it in the new pot with fresh soil, and water thoroughly.
Propagation
Rauvolfia serpentina can be propagated through seeds or cuttings. For cuttings, take a healthy stem cutting and plant it in moist soil. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment until it establishes roots. Propagation is best done during the growing season.

Prune the plant regularly to remove dead or yellowing leaves and to maintain its shape. Pruning also encourages new growth and helps keep the plant healthy. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to make clean cuts.
