Instructions d'entretien

Virola sebifera requires bright, indirect light and thrives in warm, humid conditions. It prefers consistently moist soil and should be watered regularly to maintain high soil moisture. The tree does well in moderate temperatures and high humidity, making it ideal for tropical environments.

Sol

The tree prefers loamy soil that is well-draining yet retains moisture. A soil mix that includes organic matter will help maintain the necessary nutrients and moisture levels. Ensure the soil remains consistently wet but not waterlogged.

Engrais

Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the tree during the growing season to support its growth. Apply the fertilizer every 4-6 weeks, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Rempotage

Repot young trees every 2-3 years to accommodate their growing root system. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Carefully transfer the tree to the new pot, adding fresh soil mix around the roots.

Propagation

Virola sebifera can be propagated from seeds or cuttings. For seed propagation, plant the seeds in a moist, well-draining soil mix and keep them in a warm, humid environment. For cuttings, take a healthy branch and plant it in a similar soil mix, keeping it moist until roots develop.

Taille

Prune the tree to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Pruning should be done during the dormant season or after the flowering period. Use clean, sharp tools to make clean cuts and avoid damaging the tree.

Toxicité

Virola sebifera is toxic, particularly its seeds and bark, which contain psychoactive compounds. These parts can be harmful if ingested by pets or humans. Handle the tree with care and keep it out of reach of children and animals.

Supplémentaire

Virola sebifera is known for its traditional use in indigenous rituals and medicine. The tree's waxy seeds are used to produce candles and other products. Despite its toxicity, it has cultural significance in its native habitat.
