Golden dewdrops

Golden dewdrops are a genus of shrubs and small trees. Many species are often cultivated as ornamentals in gardens or as hedges.

Water: Golden dewdrops thrives in tropical environments, requiring consistent moisture and high humidity. It prefers evenly moist, well-draining soil, needing watering every 2-3 weeks. Typically grown outdoors, golden dewdrops flourishes in warm climates where soil moisture resembles its natural habitat's frequent rains.

Propagation: Propagation of golden dewdrops primarily involves cuttings and seeds. Key success factors include warm temperatures, well-drained soil, and bright, indirect light. Semi-ripe cuttings taken in summer yield better results. For seeds, sow in spring, maintaining moisture and temperatures of 20-24°C (68-75°F) until transplanting.
