Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water Tragia furialis thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering frequency during cooler months and allow the soil to dry out more between waterings to prevent overhydration.
Prune Tragia furialis in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain plant health and shape.
Light pruning can also be done after flowering to encourage bushier growth and manage size.
Propagate Tragia furialis from stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Select healthy, non-flowering stems, cut them to about 10-15 cm long, and dip the cut end in rooting hormone.
Plant in a well-draining potting mix and keep moist until rooted.
Repot Tragia furialis every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.
Repotting is best done in spring just as new growth begins.
