Camphorosma

Camphorosma is characterized by its bushy, sprawling habit and small, narrow leaves that have a distinctive camphor scent when crushed. This low-growing shrub thrives in arid, sandy environments, adapting well to poor soils. Its tiny, inconspicuous flowers, borne along the stems, contribute subtly to its resilience and ability to thrive under harsh conditions.

Water: Originating from arid regions, camphorosma thrives with minimal moisture and exhibits high drought tolerance. It requires watering once every 2-3 weeks to prevent over-saturation. Ideal for xeriscaping and rock gardens, camphorosma enhances outdoor spaces focused on water conservation.

Propagation: Camphorosma can be propagated via seeds, cuttings, or division. Key factors include adequate light, optimal temperature, and well-draining soil. Challenges include seed dormancy and delicate cuttings. For cuttings, allow the stem to callous before planting in moist soil with bright, indirect light until rooted.
