Care Instructions
Geissois pruinosa requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It thrives in warm temperatures and high humidity. Regular watering is necessary, but the soil should be allowed to dry out almost completely between waterings. This tree prefers a stable environment and does not tolerate extreme fluctuations in temperature or humidity.Soil
The ideal soil for Geissois pruinosa is well-draining loam. It should be rich in organic matter to support the tree's growth. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can be detrimental to the plant's health.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the tree during the growing season to support its development. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to nutrient imbalances and potential damage to the plant.Repotting
Repot Geissois pruinosa when it outgrows its current container or when the soil becomes compacted. Choose a larger pot with good drainage and fresh, well-draining soil. Handle the roots carefully to avoid damage during the repotting process.Propagation
Propagate Geissois pruinosa through seeds or cuttings. For seed propagation, sow the seeds in a well-draining soil mix and keep them in a warm, humid environment. For cuttings, take healthy, semi-hardwood cuttings and root them in a suitable medium.Pruning
Prune Geissois pruinosa 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 precise cuts and promote healthy growth.Toxicity
Geissois pruinosa is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, it is always advisable to handle all plants with care and keep them out of reach of small children and pets.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
