Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water Triumfetta sonderi moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during cooler months.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
Prune Triumfetta sonderi to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches.
Light pruning can be done anytime, but more significant pruning is best done in early spring before new growth begins.
Propagate Triumfetta sonderi from seeds sown in spring, or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds require warm temperatures for germination.
Cuttings should be rooted in a well-draining potting mix under humid conditions.
Repot Triumfetta sonderi every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repotting is best done in spring before the active growing season begins.
Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
