Care Instructions
Tetradium daniellii requires moderate care. It thrives in direct bright light and should be placed where it can receive at least six hours of sunlight daily. The tree prefers moderate temperatures and should be kept in an environment with average humidity. Regular watering is necessary, but the soil should be allowed to dry out partially between waterings.Soil
The Bee-bee tree prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but performs best in soil that retains some moisture without becoming waterlogged. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent root rot.Fertilizer
Fertilize Tetradium daniellii with a balanced fertilizer, such as a 10-10-10 N-P-K formulation, during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer once a month to support healthy growth and flowering.Repotting
Repotting is generally not necessary for Tetradium daniellii as it is an outdoor tree. However, if grown in a container, repot every 2-3 years to refresh the soil and provide more space for root growth. Choose a larger pot and ensure good drainage.Propagation
Propagate Tetradium daniellii through seeds or cuttings. Seeds should be sown in the spring, while cuttings can be taken in late summer. Ensure the cuttings are kept in a humid environment until they root.Pruning
Pruning is required to maintain the shape and health of the tree. Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, diseased, or crossing branches to promote good air circulation and light penetration.Toxicity
Tetradium daniellii is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, as with all plants, it is advisable to prevent pets and children from ingesting any part of the plant.Additional
The Bee-bee tree is valued for its ornamental qualities and its ability to attract pollinators, especially bees. It is a great addition to gardens and landscapes where pollinator support is desired.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
