Water: Corokia, native to New Zealand, flourishes with moderate drought tolerance. In cultivation, it needs watering every two weeks, reflecting its natural rainfall patterns. Ideal for hedging, corokia benefits from rainwater and requires less supplemental irrigation, making it suitable for resilient landscaping.

Propagation: Corokia can be propagated via semi-hardwood cuttings or seeds. Successful propagation requires moderate light, warmth, and well-draining soil. High humidity is crucial for rooting. Cut a 4-6 inch stem, prepare, and maintain moist conditions; roots should develop in 4-8 weeks.
