Watering should be done every 2-3 weeks, aligning with its adaptation to infrequent rainfall. Ideal for xeriscaping, california fagonbush excels in harsh climates by enduring extended dry periods.
Fertilize: California fagonbush thrives with high-nitrogen fertilizers, ideally a balanced, slow-release type applied in early spring and mid-summer. Follow product guidelines to avoid over-fertilization and consider reduced feeding in winter. Incorporate fertilizer into moist soil for optimal nutrient uptake and growth.
Pruning: California fagonbush benefits from early spring pruning to enhance growth and flowering. Remove dead stems for better air circulation and trim long branches to maintain shape. Clean cuts above healthy buds promote growth and longevity, making pruning essential for optimal cultivation.
Propagation: California fagonbush is a hardy shrub from the Zygophyllaceae family, well-suited for desert climates. Propagation involves taking cuttings from mature stems, allowing them to callous, and planting in well-draining soil. Consistent moisture is key, though overwatering should be avoided; rooting hormone is optional.
