Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Pagamea duckei prefers consistently moist soil but not waterlogged conditions. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch.
Reduce watering slightly during cooler months to prevent root rot, but do not allow the soil to dry out completely. Ensure good drainage to avoid issues.
Prune Pagamea duckei to maintain its desired shape and size, and to remove any dead or damaged stems. Light pruning can be done at any time of year.
For more significant shaping, prune in early spring before new growth begins. Use clean, sharp tools.
Pagamea duckei can be propagated from stem cuttings. Take cuttings of about 10-15 cm long in spring or summer, and dip the cut end in rooting hormone.
Plant the cuttings in a well-draining potting mix and keep them consistently moist and warm. Roots typically form within 4-6 weeks.
Repot Pagamea duckei every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. The best time to repot is in the spring before the active growing season begins.
Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one and use a well-draining potting mix. Water well after repotting.
