Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Agonandra silvatica prefers consistently moist soil but dislikes waterlogged conditions. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly during cooler months to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid issues.
Prune Agonandra silvatica to maintain its desired shape and size, and to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. The best time for pruning is in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Use clean, sharp pruning tools.
Agonandra silvatica can be propagated from seeds sown in spring or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require stratification.
Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and placed in a well-draining medium in a warm, humid environment.
Repot Agonandra silvatica every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Use a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one, with ample drainage holes. Repot in spring before the active growing season begins.
Use a well-draining potting mix.
