Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water Pradosia granulosa regularly, especially during its active growth period. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings.
Reduce watering in cooler months to prevent waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot. Ensure good drainage to avoid standing water.
Prune Pradosia granulosa to maintain its shape and size, or to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.
Light pruning can be done at any time, but heavier pruning is best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Use clean, sharp pruning tools.
Propagate Pradosia granulosa from stem cuttings. Take 4-6 inch cuttings from healthy, vigorous stems, preferably in spring or summer. Remove lower leaves and dip the cut end in rooting hormone.
Plant in a well-draining potting mix and keep consistently moist and warm to encourage root development.
Repot Pradosia granulosa every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a peat-based mix with added perlite.
Repotting is best done in spring before the active growing season commences.
