Duguetia calycina
Duguetia calycina is a tropical perennial with glossy, deep green foliage. Its most noteworthy feature is the strikingly large, bell-shaped calyx that persists even after the yellowish flowers bloom. This botanical shield provides a microhabitat and protection to developing fruit, reflecting an adaption to its lush forest environment. Its robust stature allows it to compete well in the dense understory.

Care Guide for Duguetia calycina

Twice per week
Water
Full sun
Sunlight
Water: Originating from humid environments, duguetia calycina thrives with consistent moisture, needing a watering schedule of twice a week. It requires high humidity and benefits from misting during the growing season. Care should be taken to avoid over-saturation to prevent root rot.
Fertilize: Duguetia calycina flourishes with a balanced nutrition fertilizer, using high-nitrogen options every 2-3 months during peak growth. Apply monthly at quarter-strength to avoid root burn. Water before fertilization and adjust frequency seasonally, reducing amounts in winter to support optimal growth and potential flowering.
Pruning: Duguetia calycina thrives with early spring pruning. Remove dead branches to foster healthy growth and shape the plant for better air circulation. Pruning post-flowering boosts next season's blooms, minimizes disease risks, and promotes vigorous growth. Use clean, sharp tools to avoid infections.
Propagation: To cultivate duguetia calycina, start with healthy cuttings and apply rooting hormone. Use well-draining soil and maintain consistent moisture. Grow in warmth with indirect light for root development. With care, duguetia calycina will adapt to direct sunlight and varied conditions as it matures.
