Care Guide for Canarium

Every 2 weeks

Water

Water: Canarium thrives in tropical-like conditions with high humidity and consistent moisture. Water every two weeks to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. As an evergreen indoor plant, it needs careful watering during the growing season to maintain lush foliage.

Propagation: Propagation of canarium primarily involves seed sowing, requiring warm temperatures, moisture, and well-draining, organic-rich soil. Stratification or scarification may enhance germination. The process includes soaking seeds, planting, maintaining moisture and a temperature of 25-30°C (77-86°F), providing light, and transplanting seedlings after true leaves develop.
