DETAILS

Care Instructions
Pradosia huberi requires consistently moist soil and indirect bright light. It thrives in warm, humid conditions typical of tropical climates. Regular watering and maintaining high humidity are essential for its growth. The tree prefers moderate temperatures and should be protected from cold drafts.
Soil
The tree prefers loamy soil that retains moisture well but also provides good drainage. A rich, organic soil mix is ideal to support its nutrient needs. Ensure the soil remains consistently wet to mimic its natural habitat.
Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the tree regularly during the growing season to support its nutrient requirements. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can harm the plant.
Repotting
Repotting is necessary when the tree outgrows its current container. Choose a larger pot with good drainage and use a rich, loamy soil mix. Repotting is best done during the growing season to minimize stress on the plant.
Propagation
Propagation can be done through seeds or cuttings. For seeds, ensure they are fresh and plant them in a moist, loamy soil mix. For cuttings, take a healthy branch and plant it in a suitable soil mix, keeping it moist until roots develop.
Pruning
Pruning is required to maintain the tree's shape and remove any dead or diseased branches. Prune during the growing season to encourage new growth and maintain the tree's health.
Toxicity
Pradosia huberi 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.
Additional
Ensure the tree is placed in a location with high humidity and consistent moisture. Regular misting can help maintain the required humidity levels. Protect the tree from strong winds and cold temperatures to ensure optimal growth.
