Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Raputia aromatica prefers consistently moist soil but dislikes waterlogged conditions. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry.
Reduce watering slightly in cooler months, allowing the soil to dry out a bit more between waterings to prevent root rot.
Prune Raputia aromatica to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Pinch back new growth tips in spring and summer. Remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems at any time of the year.
Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the plant.
Propagate Raputia aromatica from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late spring or summer. Use a rooting hormone and plant the cuttings in a well-draining potting mix.
Keep the soil consistently moist and provide a humid environment until roots form.
Repot Raputia aromatica every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix. Spring is the ideal time for repotting.
