Onderhoudsinstructies
Trichilia emetica thrives in bright, direct sunlight and prefers moderate temperatures. It requires a seasonally dry environment and should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. The tree benefits from moderate humidity levels and should be protected from frost.Bodem
The tree prefers well-draining loam soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. It can tolerate a range of soil types but thrives best in fertile, well-drained soils. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging.Kunstmest
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the tree during the growing season to promote healthy growth. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to nutrient imbalances.Verpotten
Repot young trees every 2-3 years to provide fresh soil and adequate space for root growth. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Repotting is best done in the early spring before the growing season begins.Voortplanting
Trichilia emetica can be propagated from seeds or cuttings. Seeds should be sown in a well-draining soil mix and kept moist until germination. Cuttings can be taken from semi-hardwood branches and rooted in a suitable rooting medium. Propagation is best done in the spring or early summer.Snoeien
