Dendrotrophe

Dendrotrophe comprises a unique group of plants that predominantly feature a parasitic lifestyle, thriving on the branches of larger trees. These plants exhibit wiry, sprawling stems and small, scale-like leaves adapted to absorb nutrients from their hosts. Dendrotrophe's growth form allows it to effectively spread across the surfaces of host trees, optimizing sunlight exposure and nutrient acquisition.

Water: Dendrotrophe prefers environments that mimic its native habitat with intermittent moisture and shows drought tolerance. A watering schedule of once every three weeks is recommended, allowing soil to dry. Suited for outdoor cultivation and xeriscaping in appropriate climates, dendrotrophe thrives with minimal water input.

Propagation: Propagating dendrotrophe involves seed sowing or cuttings, requiring specific light, temperature, and soil conditions. Use well-draining soil and maintain warmth and humidity. Key steps include preparing healthy seeds or cuttings, planting them correctly, and acclimatizing young plants after a few weeks of growth.
