Dipentodon is a monotype. Dipentodon is a small, deciduous tree. The leaves are stipulate, alternate, and simple, with serrate margins. The inflorescence is variable in form, usually an abbreviated, umbelliform cyme containing 25 to 30 small flowers. The flowers are actinomorphic and yellowish green. The fruit is a 1-seeded drupaceous capsule. It has only one species, is native to southern China, northern Myanmar, and northern India.
Water:
Dipentodon thrives in conditions that replicate its native, intermittently dry habitat. It requires careful watering every 2-3 weeks to avoid overwatering. As an outdoor plant in temperate regions, dipentodon's growth is aligned with seasonal rainfall, allowing it to store water for drier periods.
Propagation:
Propagation of dipentodon involves seed sowing or cuttings, requiring optimal light, temperature, and well-draining soil. Special techniques like stratification boost germination, while cuttings thrive in humidity with rooting hormones. Challenges include seed dormancy and delicate cuttings; maintain moisture and warmth for successful establishment.
