Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Triumfetta trachystema prefers consistently moist soil, especially during its active growth period. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch.
Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency slightly during cooler, dormant periods.
Prune Triumfetta trachystema to maintain its desired shape and size, and to encourage bushier growth. Lightly trim in spring to remove any dead or crossing branches.
For more significant shaping, you can prune harder in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Triumfetta trachystema can be propagated by seeds sown in spring under warm conditions, or by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer.
Cuttings should be placed in a well-draining medium and kept moist and humid until rooted. Seed germination can be slow and may require stratification.
Repot Triumfetta trachystema every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound, typically in early spring before the start of active growth. Use a well-draining potting mix.
Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues.
