The plant typically exhibits dense, leathery leaves and small, inconspicuous flowers, traits that promote water conservation in its arid native habitats. Its resilience and hardy nature make ohwia well-suited to survive in challenging conditions.
Water:
Ohwia thrives in environments mimicking its native habitat, with drought tolerance and a watering schedule of once every 2-3 weeks to avoid root saturation. Ideal for outdoor settings, ohwia suits xeriscaping and areas with irregular rainfall.
Propagation:
Propagation of ohwia typically involves seed sowing and softwood cuttings, requiring ample light, warm temperatures, and well-draining soil. Key steps include spring sowing post-stratification, taking early summer cuttings, using rooting hormone, and ensuring consistent humidity and temperature to avoid root rot.
