Chandelier TreeMedinilla cumingii

Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging the roots, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering slightly during the cooler winter months, allowing the soil to dry out a bit more between waterings.

Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can also be done to control size and stimulate new flowering stems for the next season.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late spring or summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a moist, well-draining potting mix. Maintain high humidity and warmth to encourage root development.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, preferably one containing peat or coco coir.

Repot in spring, just as new growth begins, to minimize transplant shock and encourage vigorous growth.
