Mitrephora wangii

Mitrephora wangii forms dense forests on the slopes of China and Thailand, though it is unfortunately listed as vulnerable due to human disturbance. It produces orchid-like blooms, and the young branches of this tree are entirely covered by tiny hairs — even the undersides of the leaves display a patchy coat.

Ideal Temperature

Water: Mitrephora wangii is moderately drought-tolerant, thriving with soil that dries slightly between watering sessions, ideally every 2-3 weeks. As an evergreen species, it maintains lush foliage during dry seasons, provided it receives adequate hydration during growth cycles.

Fertilize: Mitrephora wangii thrives with balanced nutrition fertilizers during the growing season, switching to high-nitrogen types bimonthly at quarter strength to enhance foliage without causing root burn. In dormancy, feed every other month, adjusting as needed. Always dilute and apply to moist soil for best results.

Pruning: Mitrephora wangii requires careful pruning in early to late winter to promote healthy growth and shape. Remove dead branches and thin dense areas for better air circulation. Regular pruning prevents diseases and boosts flowering; use sharp tools for clean cuts above buds or nodes.

Propagation: Mitrephora wangii thrives in conditions that mimic its tropical forest habitat. Propagation via sowing demands a warm, humid microclimate. Use well-draining, moist soil to promote healthy root growth, and maintain a consistent environment to support mitrephora wangii's delicate early stages.
