Soil Type

Water: Alangium is moderately drought-tolerant, thriving with soil that dries slightly between waterings. Water every 1-2 weeks for consistent moisture. Outdoors, mulching helps retain soil moisture in heat, crucial for young plants' root establishment.

Propagation: Propagate alangium via seed sowing or softwood cuttings. Seeds require scarification and stratification before sowing in well-draining soil. Cuttings need rooting hormone and humidity. Challenges include low germination rates. Collect seeds in spring or take cuttings in early summer for best results.
