Care Guide for Cota

Every week

Water

Water: Originating from moisture-rich environments, cota requires moderate weekly watering and prefers evenly moist soil. It thrives outdoors with natural rainfall that supports its growth and flowering aligned with local climate conditions, avoiding extremes of drought or waterlogging.

Propagation: Cota is primarily propagated by seeds but can also be multiplied through stem cuttings or division. Seed propagation requires well-draining soil, good light, and stable temperatures (20°C/68°F). Cuttings need a rooting hormone and a moist medium, while division is best done in spring or fall.
