Soil Type

Water: Quince prefers moderate moisture and good drainage, thriving in conditions that resemble its natural habitat. Once established, it exhibits drought tolerance and should be watered every 1-2 weeks, allowing the soil to dry partially. Deep watering promotes root growth, essential during its growing season.

Propagation: Propagate quince via seeds, cuttings, or grafting. Stratify seeds before planting in well-drained soil. Use semi-hardwood cuttings in shaded humidity. Grafting ensures cultivar consistency. Optimal temperature is 20°C-25°C with adequate light. Follow steps: select method, prepare materials, plant seeds/cuttings, perform grafting, and maintain conditions.
