Care Guide for Agarista

Every 2-3 weeks

Water

Water: Originating from environments with fluctuating moisture, agarista thrives in moderate humidity and displays resilience during dry spells. Water every 2-3 weeks, allowing soil to dry slightly between sessions. It flourishes outdoors, synchronized with natural rainfall patterns for optimal growth.

Propagation: Agarista propagates through seed sowing, semi-hardwood cuttings, or air layering. Optimal conditions include warm temperatures, high humidity, and well-draining acidic soil. Rooting cuttings involves a 10-15 cm (4-6 inch) segment, rooting hormone, and indirect light until established.
