Soil Type

Water: Pseudocydonia flourishes in temperate environments with moderate moisture, favoring consistent humidity. Water biweekly, as it tolerates short dry spells. Usually grown outdoors, it effectively utilizes water during the growing season for its lush, deciduous foliage.

Propagation: Propagation methods for pseudocydonia include seed sowing and softwood cuttings. Successful propagation requires light, warmth, and well-draining soil. Softwood cuttings are preferred due to unreliable seed germination. Steps include cutting, leaf removal, hormone application, planting in a peat-perlite mix, ensuring humidity and indirect light, and waiting for rooting.
