Casearia is a genus of evergreen shrubs and small trees notable for their adaptability to diverse environments, ranging from tropical to subtropical regions. These plants typically feature oval-shaped, finely toothed leaves and small, inconspicuous greenish flowers. The family's resilience is often attributed to their robust root systems that excel in various soil types, making them versatile in different ecological settings.
Water:
Casearia thrives in alternating wet and dry conditions, showing moderate drought tolerance. Water every 2-3 weeks to maintain moisture balance and prevent overwatering. It prefers well-draining soil and suits regions with sporadic rainfall.
Propagation:
Propagation of casearia is achieved via seeds and cuttings. Key factors include light, temperature, and well-draining soil. For seeds, cold stratification aids germination. Cuttings require healthy stems, rooting hormone, and moist conditions. Follow specific steps to ensure successful root development before transplanting.
