Apterosperma

Apterosperma is a rare tree known primarily for its striking, leathery leaves that are lush and glossy. Its habitat, typically moist and shaded forest regions, significantly influences its characteristics, promoting the dense, dark foliage that thrives under the canopy's cover. Distinctively, apterosperma bears flowers directly on its trunk, a feature that not only aids in survival by conserving energy but also attracts specific pollinators.

Water: Apterosperma prefers consistent moisture and demonstrates good drought tolerance. It requires watering every 2-3 weeks, thriving better indoors where humidity can be managed. As an evergreen, its water needs remain stable year-round, unlike seasonal deciduous plants.

Propagation: Propagation of apterosperma involves seed sowing, requiring warm temperatures, consistent moisture, and well-draining soil. Key steps include seed collection, treatment (stratification/scarification), sowing in a sterile mix, maintaining conditions for germination, and transplanting seedlings when sturdy.
