Water:
Picrasma thrives in conditions resembling its native habitat, exhibiting high drought tolerance. Water only once every three weeks, allowing complete soil dryness between sessions. Typically grown outdoors, picrasma prefers well-draining soil to avoid waterlogging and replicate natural dry environments.
Propagation:
Propagation of picrasma involves seed sowing or semi-hardwood cuttings. Key factors include warm temperatures, adequate indirect light, and well-draining soil. Stratify seeds to break dormancy and use rooting hormone for cuttings. Moderate difficulty arises from specific environmental needs and potential germination challenges.
