Care Instructions
Claoxylon glandulosum 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 levels, making it ideal for tropical environments.Soil
This plant prefers loamy soil that retains moisture well but also has good drainage. The soil should be rich in organic matter to support its nutrient needs. Regularly check the soil to ensure it remains consistently moist but not waterlogged.Fertilizer
Use 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 growth and health. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can harm the plant.Repotting
Repot Claoxylon glandulosum every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current container. 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 one, and fill with fresh, loamy soil.Propagation
Propagate Claoxylon glandulosum through cuttings or seeds. 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. For seeds, plant them in a suitable growing medium and maintain consistent moisture and warmth.Pruning
Prune the plant regularly to maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth. Remove any dead or damaged branches and trim back overgrown areas. Pruning should be done during the growing season to avoid stressing the plant.Toxicity
Claoxylon glandulosum is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. All parts of the plant contain toxic compounds that can cause gastrointestinal distress and other symptoms. Handle the plant with care and keep it out of reach of children and pets.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
