Care Guide for Diosma

Every 1-2 weeks

Water

Water: Diosma thrives in periodic moisture fluctuations, requiring watering every 1-2 weeks. Adaptable to drier environments, it is better suited for outdoor cultivation to benefit from natural rainfall. As an evergreen, diosma retains moisture well, remaining lush during limited precipitation.

Propagation: Propagation for diosma is primarily via cuttings or seeds, with cuttings preferred due to slow seed germination. Use well-draining soil and moderate temperatures; take semi-hardwood cuttings in late summer. Apply rooting hormone, provide bright, indirect light, and follow proper cutting preparation and watering steps.
