How to Grow and Care for Lepidothamnus

Lepidothamnus requires specific attention due to its preference for consistently moist, well-drained soil and partial to full shade conditions. It is sensitive to temperature fluctuations, preferring a stable, cool environment. Regular monitoring of soil moisture levels is crucial to prevent both drought stress and root rot. Ensuring the plant is situated in an area with protected, stable environmental conditions will help it thrive.

It has a scrambling prostrate habit and plants as little as 8 cm in height have been observed in fruit. Branches may be up to 5 mm in diameter and up to 1 m long. Its cones are red and fleshy, and borne terminally on the horizontal branches. The seed is dark brown on red fleshy scales.

Yellow silver pine

Yellow silver pine is a rare conifer adapted to boggy, subalpine environments, with a slender form and horizontal branches.
