Care Instructions
Decalobanthus peltatus requires indirect bright light and moderate temperatures. It thrives in environments with moderate humidity. Water the plant when the soil is almost completely dry, and ensure it has good air circulation.Soil
The plant prefers well-draining loamy soil. It is important to ensure the soil dries out almost completely between waterings to prevent root rot. A mix of loam with some sand can provide the necessary drainage.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically every 4-6 weeks, to support its growth.Repotting
Repot Decalobanthus peltatus every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current container. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage, and handle the roots carefully during the process.Propagation
Propagate the plant through stem cuttings. Take cuttings during the growing season, and place them in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the cuttings in a warm, humid environment until they establish roots.Pruning
Prune the plant to control its growth and remove any dead or damaged parts. Pruning is best done during the growing season to encourage new growth and maintain the plant's shape.Toxicity
