Care Guide for Eucommia

Every 2 weeks

Water

Water: Eucommia flourishes in moderate humidity with evenly moist soil and exhibits drought tolerance post-establishment. Water every two weeks to prevent root saturation. Typically grown outdoors, eucommia benefits from mulching to maintain soil moisture, especially during its active growing season, when water needs increase.

Propagation: Propagation of eucommia involves seed sowing, hardwood cuttings, or layering. Success relies on light, warmth, and well-draining soil. Key steps include stratifying seeds if needed, maintaining moisture and warmth, and using rooting hormone for cuttings, with challenges in germination and rooting uniformity.
