Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water Trigonia boliviana regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. During dry spells, increase watering frequency.
In cooler, dormant periods, reduce watering significantly.
Prune Trigonia boliviana after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done in early spring before new growth begins.
Propagate Trigonia boliviana from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer. Insert cuttings into a well-draining medium and keep them in a warm, humid environment until they root.
Successful propagation requires patience.
Repot Trigonia boliviana every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound, preferably in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues.
