Care Guide for Majidea

Every 2-3 weeks

Water

Water: Majidea prefers intermittent watering, akin to its native habitat, thriving in dry conditions. Water every 2-3 weeks to maintain optimal moisture, allowing soil to dry between waterings. It adapts well indoors with controlled humidity, ensuring healthy growth without overwatering stress.

Propagation: Majidea can be propagated via seed sowing or cuttings. Seeds need well-draining soil, warmth, and indirect light; scarification aids germination. Cuttings thrive in humidity with rooting hormone. Generally, propagation is moderately difficult—ensuring optimal conditions for growth is essential for success.
