Care Guide for Brachyglottis

Every 2-3 weeks

Water

Water: Brachyglottis thrives in well-draining soil and intermittent rainfall, showcasing high drought tolerance. Watering every 2-3 weeks is ideal, allowing the soil to dry. Preferring outdoor cultivation, brachyglottis retains leaf hydration year-round, enhancing resilience to varying moisture levels.

Propagation: Propagate brachyglottis using semi-ripe cuttings in late summer. Success depends on well-draining soil, indirect light, and mild temperatures (15-20°C/59-68°F). Cuttings with a heel should be dipped in rooting hormone, planted in gritty compost, covered with plastic, and will typically root in weeks.
