Iodes

Iodes is a robust evergreen, thriving predominantly in tropical rainforests. Its broad, glossy leaves and stout stem are adapted to the shaded understorey, facilitating efficient photosynthesis in low light conditions. Clusters of small, inconspicuous flowers, which later develop into fleshy fruits, attract a variety of forest wildlife, aiding in seed dispersion.

Care Guide for Iodes

Every 3 weeks

Water

Water: Iodes prefers infrequent watering due to its drought tolerance, needing hydration every three weeks. Originating from dry regions, it conserves water effectively. Often grown indoors in containers, iodes thrives in stable environments that support consistent moisture management.

Propagation: Propagation of iodes involves seeds or stem cuttings, thriving in warm temperatures and high humidity with well-draining, organic-rich soil. Use fresh seeds and healthy cuttings, taking 4-6 inch segments in early summer. Ensure even moisture and warmth until establishment to avoid overwatering and fungal issues.
