Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Tournaya gossweileri prefers consistently moist soil but dislikes waterlogged conditions. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch.
Reduce watering slightly during the dormant winter months to prevent root rot. Ensure good drainage to avoid issues.
Prune Tournaya gossweileri after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems. Light pruning can be done anytime to manage size.
Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the plant and reduce future blooms.
Propagate Tournaya gossweileri from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.
Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm, humid environment until they root, usually within several weeks.
Repot Tournaya gossweileri every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound, preferably in spring. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix amended with organic matter.
Repotting refreshes the soil and provides more space for root development.
