Water:
Originating from humid tropical regions, palaquium prefers evenly moist soil, tolerating moderate drought. Water every 2-3 weeks, preventing complete drying. Thrives in well-draining pots to balance moisture without waterlogging, essential during active growth cycles.
Propagation:
Propagation of palaquium involves seed sowing and cuttings, requiring warm temperatures, high humidity, and well-draining soil. Use fresh seeds as viability decreases quickly, and treat healthy cuttings with rooting hormone. Maintain consistent warmth and humidity for successful germination and root establishment.
