Fogfruit (Phyla) - PictureThis

Fogfruit

There are only a small number of species in the genus, and most are found only in America, with the exception of Phyla nodiflora which is found in tropical areas worldwide. Fogfruit are known for their tight clusters of flowers that grow in a mat-like form, spreading outwards. The Greek word phyle means tribe and it is thought that its use in the scientific name Phyla probably refers to the way the flowers group together.

Water

Water: Fogfruit prefers consistent moisture and requires weekly watering to support lush growth. While it can tolerate brief dryness, it thrives in moist environments. Rainwater is beneficial, enhancing its natural water cycle and promoting healthy growth during the season.

Propagation: Fogfruit propagation can be achieved via seed, cuttings, or division, requiring adequate light, warmth, and well-draining soil. For division, gently dig up, separate into sections with roots and shoots, and replant in moist soil and partial shade until established.
