Water: Weeping baeckea thrives in dry environments and is drought-tolerant, requiring watering every 2-3 weeks. It's well-suited for outdoor cultivation, particularly in xeriscaping and rock gardens, where minimal watering is essential for conservation.
Fertilize: Weeping baeckea thrives on balanced nutrition fertilizers used sparingly, every 2-3 months during the growing season. Apply a light dose (1 tsp per gallon) while avoiding direct root contact. Water after application to prevent root burn and adjust based on weeping baeckea's response and environmental factors.
Pruning: Weeping baeckea is a weeping shrub with arching branches. Prune after flowering in early to late winter for shape and air circulation. Remove dead wood and thin dense areas. Use clean tools to prevent disease. Good airflow and sunlight help prevent fungal issues.
Propagation: Originating from the Myrtaceae family, weeping baeckea features delicate foliage and attractive flowers. For propagation, sow fresh seeds in well-draining soil, maintaining consistent moisture without waterlogging. Provide gentle light and warmth to support growth, and be patient as germination may be slow.
Repotting: Repot weeping baeckea every 2-3 years in early spring for optimal growth. Use a slightly larger pot with good drainage to prevent root rot. Maintain consistent moisture without overwatering to support robust development. A well-draining potting mix and gentle care enhance weeping baeckea's vigor.
