Fish-Poison PeaTephrosia vogelii

Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during active growth. Reduce watering in cooler months and when the plant is dormant.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, as Tephrosia vogelii is sensitive to overly wet conditions.

Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

Light pruning can be done after flowering to encourage a more compact form and potentially a second bloom cycle. Avoid heavy pruning.

Propagate from seeds, which germinate readily under warm conditions. Seeds may require scarification or soaking to improve germination rates.

Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in spring or summer and rooted in moist, well-draining medium.

Repot young plants annually or as needed when root-bound, typically in spring. Mature plants require less frequent repotting, perhaps every 2-3 years.

Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot that allows for adequate drainage. Avoid overly large pots.
