Aextoxicon is a solitary species, distinguished by its evergreen nature and dense, broad leaves which flourish in the moist and shadowy undercanopies of temperate forests. Its small, inconspicuous flowers and berry-like fruits, which contribute to its subtle woodland presence, suggest adaptations suited for low-light environments and dispersal by native fauna.
Water:
Aextoxicon demonstrates moderate drought tolerance, thriving with watering every 2-3 weeks, reflecting its adaptable nature to variable moisture conditions. Typically grown outdoors, it enters dormancy, further reducing water needs, essential for survival in low-water environments.
Propagation:
Propagation of aextoxicon can occur via seeds or cuttings. Sow seeds in well-draining soil with indirect light. For cuttings, apply rooting hormone and maintain high humidity. Ideal temperatures are 18-22°C (64-72°F). Care includes gentle watering and monitoring for pests or diseases.
