Water:
Cherry ashok thrives in humid environments, efficiently absorbing moisture. It prefers consistent humidity and should be watered every 2-3 weeks, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Grown outdoors, it needs well-draining soil to support its growth while preventing oversaturation.
Fertilize:
For optimal care, fertilize cherry ashok bi-monthly with balanced fertilizers during the growing season. Spring and summer favor high nitrogen for leafy growth. Use a diluted solution to prevent root burn, adjusting for plant size. Reduce fertilization in winter, applying in the morning for better absorption.
Pruning:
Cherry ashok thrives with early spring pruning to enhance growth and flowering. Key techniques include removing dead branches, promoting air circulation, and shaping for aesthetics. Pruning minimizes stress when done before new growth, maintaining vigor and preventing overcrowding. Use clean, sharp tools for best results.
Propagation:
Cherry ashok can be propagated via semi-hardwood cuttings. Essential care includes maintaining humidity and warmth, using a well-draining, nutrient-rich substrate, and applying rooting hormones. Once rooted, transplant the cuttings into individual pots for further growth before planting them in their final location.
