Care Guide for Polyspora

Every 2-3 weeks

Water

Water: Polyspora is moderately drought-tolerant, thriving when soil dries slightly between waterings, requiring hydration every 2-3 weeks. Preferring well-draining soil to mimic its native environment, polyspora benefits from natural rainfall, which helps prevent root rot.

Propagation: Polyspora can be propagated via seeds, cuttings, or air layering, with success reliant on light, temperature, and soil. Seeds may need stratification or scarification for germination. Cuttings require careful handling and rooting hormone. Moderately challenging, propagation demands attention to moisture, warmth, and monitoring.
