Sunlight

Water: Common tricalysia thrives in environments with intermittent rain and dry periods, showcasing high drought tolerance. Water every 2-3 weeks, allowing soil to dry between sessions. Often grown outdoors, common tricalysia benefits from a growing season with ample rain followed by recovery time for the soil.

Fertilize: To maintain common tricalysia's health, use balanced fertilizers during the growing season and switch to high nitrogen for foliage. Fertilize bi-weekly in spring/summer and monthly in fall/winter. Conduct annual soil tests to adjust fertilization appropriately and avoid over-fertilization.

Pruning: Common tricalysia is a compact shrub with attractive foliage and fragrant flowers. Prune in early to late winter to remove dead branches, enhance air circulation, and promote bushier growth. Use clean, sharp tools for pruning to prevent infection and maintain vibrant blooms.

Propagation: Common tricalysia thrives through cuttings from semi-hardwood stems cut below the node. Apply rooting hormone and plant in well-draining soil. Maintain consistent moisture and provide indirect sunlight for optimal growth. Root establishment may take several weeks, so patience is essential.
