Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water Tricliceras pilosum thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during winter months when the plant's growth slows down.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
Prune Tricliceras pilosum to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches at any time. Light pruning can be done after flowering to shape the plant and promote new blooms.
Propagate Tricliceras pilosum 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 moist and in a warm, humid environment until roots form.
Repot Tricliceras pilosum every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and compost.
