The bahiopsis genus contains flowering shrubs native to the southwestern parts of the U.S. and Mexico. Some genus members are recognizable by their hairy texture and sticky resin. Some bahiopsis species are ideal for butterfly gardens as bees, butterflies, and other pollinators are very attracted to their blooms.
Water:
Bahiopsis thrives in arid conditions with excellent drought tolerance, requiring irrigation every 2-3 weeks. Typically grown outdoors, it prefers full sun exposure. Proper watering during the active growth season is essential for healthy development without over-saturation.
Propagation:
Propagation of bahiopsis primarily involves seed sowing and cuttings. Success depends on well-drained soil, warmth, and bright, indirect light. For cuttings, a 4-6 inch section should be taken, treated with rooting hormone, and planted in suitable soil. Roots typically develop in 4-8 weeks.
