Falcataria is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It has three species. The distribution of these closely related species within the genus falcataria links the wet tropics of north-east Australia to New Guinea, the Moluccas, Bismarck Archipelago, and the Solomon Islands east of Wallace's line similar to other plant taxa from the region.
Water:
Falcataria thrives in environments with irregular rainfall, showing resilience to sporadic watering. It prefers moderate moisture, with a watering schedule of once every 2-3 weeks, allowing the soil to partially dry out. Well-draining soil is essential to support its growth without excessive moisture.
Propagation:
Propagation of falcataria can be achieved through seed sowing and cuttings. Successful methods require high humidity, warmth, and well-draining soil. For seeds, scarify and soak before sowing, while cuttings benefit from rooting hormones and moisture. Environmental sensitivity makes propagation moderately challenging.
