Water:
Bayberry thrives in moderate moisture, tolerating short dry spells and requiring watering every 1-2 weeks. Originally from less abundant water areas, it benefits from mulching to retain soil moisture and align with its natural water uptake cycle.
Propagation:
Propagation of bayberry can be achieved via seed sowing, semi-hardwood cuttings, and division. Key factors include well-draining soil, warm temperatures, and indirect sunlight. Propagation challenges exist, particularly in seed germination. For cuttings, use rooting hormone, a sand-peat mix, and maintain humidity and indirect light.
