Care Guide for Lacebarks

Water

Water: Originating in moderate climates, lacebarks thrives in areas with limited water. It prefers evenly moist soil and is moderately drought-tolerant. Water lacebarks every 1-2 weeks, and use mulch to retain moisture, reducing watering frequency and supporting stable growth.

Propagation: Propagation of lacebarks can be achieved through seed sowing and cuttings. Key success factors include light, moisture, and well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil. Techniques involve seed scarification, rooting hormone for cuttings, and careful temperature management during germination and rooting. Consistent care is crucial.
