Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water Fagraea auriculata regularly, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, especially during cooler months when growth slows.
Reduce watering in winter to mimic its natural drier periods.
Prune Fagraea auriculata lightly to maintain its shape and size, or to remove any dead or damaged branches. The best time to prune is after flowering. Avoid heavy pruning, as this can stress the plant.
Propagate Fagraea auriculata from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Dip the cuttings in rooting hormone and plant them in a well-draining, moist medium.
Keep them in a warm, humid environment until roots form.
Repot Fagraea auriculata every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. The best time to repot is in spring before new growth begins.
Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
