Carrierea is a small to medium-sized deciduous tree distinguished by its narrow, elongated leaves and smooth, gray bark. The tree's small, yellowish flowers bloom in clusters, followed by shiny, black fruits that are a significant food source for local wildlife. Adapted to temperate climates, carrierea thrives in well-drained soils and often forms distinctive stands in its native woodland habitats.
Water:
Carrierea flourishes in moderate humidity with periodic dry spells. Water every 2-3 weeks, allowing soil to dry slightly. Typically grown outdoors, it benefits from natural rainfall. Consistent soil moisture is vital for robust growth, especially for evergreen varieties retaining foliage year-round.
Propagation:
Propagation of carrierea utilizes seed sowing and cuttings. Seeds need stratification and consistent moisture, while cuttings require bottom heat and rooting hormones. Maintain warm temperatures, well-draining soil, and indirect light. Avoid waterlogging; use healthy stems for cuttings and high humidity for rooting success.
