Care Guide for Microcos

Every 2-3 weeks

Water

Water: Originating from arid regions, microcos thrives with minimal moisture and high drought tolerance. It prefers drier conditions and needs watering every 2-3 weeks to avoid over-saturation. Microcos effectively conserves water, adapting its growth cycle for survival during prolonged dry spells.

Propagation: Propagation of microcos primarily involves seed sowing and cuttings, requiring optimal light, warmth, and well-draining soil. Seeds may need scarification or stratification, while cuttings benefit from rooting hormone. Maintain consistent moisture and warmth until establishment; overall difficulty is moderate and requires patience.
