GaitaTrichilia pallida

Water Trichilia pallida thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.

Prune Trichilia pallida to maintain shape, remove dead or damaged branches, and encourage bushier growth.

Pruning can be done lightly throughout the year, with heavier pruning best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Use clean, sharp tools.

Propagate Trichilia pallida from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late spring or summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.

Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm, humid environment with bright, indirect light until roots form.

Repot Trichilia pallida every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Spring is the ideal time for repotting.

Water lightly after repotting.
