DETAILS

Care Instructions
Diospyros fasciculosa requires bright, indirect light and thrives in warm, humid environments. It prefers consistently moist soil and should be watered regularly to maintain this condition. The plant does well in moderate temperatures and high humidity levels.
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.
Fertilizer
A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 is recommended. Fertilize the plant during the growing season to support its development.
Repotting
Repotting should be done when the plant outgrows its current container. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage and use a rich, loamy soil mix. Repotting is best done in the spring.
Propagation
Propagation can be done through seeds or cuttings. For cuttings, take a healthy stem and plant it in a moist, well-draining soil mix. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment until it establishes roots.
Pruning
Pruning is necessary to maintain the shape and health of the plant. Remove any dead or diseased branches and trim back overgrown areas to encourage new growth. Pruning is best done in the late winter or early spring.
Toxicity
Diospyros fasciculosa is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, it is always best to keep plants out of reach of pets and children to avoid any potential issues.
