Water: Wild Peanut thrives in dry conditions, adapting to its South American grassland origin with deep, infrequent watering every week. It benefits from rainwater during the growing season, promoting healthy development and aligning with its natural rainfall patterns.
Fertilize: For wild Peanut, use a balanced fertilizer with high-phosphorus during flowering for optimal growth. Fertilize bi-monthly in active growth, quarterly during dormancy, adjusting for pot size. Prevent root burn by watering before and after fertilization, and avoid over-fertilizing to ensure healthy development.
Pruning: Prune wild Peanut in early to later spring for bushier growth and to remove damaged stems, cutting above leaf nodes. Regular pruning enhances airflow, reduces disease risk, and improves vigor. Maintain a natural shape and sterilize tools to prevent infections.
Propagation: Wild Peanut is a South American legume related to peanuts. Propagation involves sowing fresh seeds in well-draining soil at a shallow depth. It requires stable warmth, indirect light, and regular watering without waterlogging for successful germination and seedling establishment.
