Care Guide for Pomaderris

Every 2-3 weeks

Water

Water: Pomaderris thrives in temperate to subtropical regions, preferring moderate humidity and occasional dry spells. Water every 2-3 weeks, allowing soil to partially dry out. Its adaptability to local rainfall makes pomaderris versatile for gardens, aligning growth with seasonal moisture changes.

Propagation: Propagate pomaderris via semi-hardwood cuttings, preferred over seeds due to variability. Maintain high humidity and temperatures (18-23°C). Use rooting hormone for success. Steps: select stems, cut 10-15cm, dip in hormone, plant in moist soil, and keep warm and moist until rooted.
