Water: Creeping psychotria thrives in high humidity and moist environments, requiring thorough watering every three weeks while allowing soil to dry slightly. As an indoor evergreen, it benefits from regular misting to maintain the desired humidity for optimal health.
Fertilize: Creeping psychotria thrives with balanced nutrition, using a 10-10-10 fertilizer bimonthly during growth and high-nitrogen in early spring. Apply 1/2 tsp per gallon of soil, adjusting as needed. Fertilize at half-strength on moist soil to avoid root burn, supporting vitality and resilience.
Pruning: Creeping psychotria is a low-growing, shade-loving plant with small leaves and white flowers. Prune in early spring to enhance growth and air circulation, while preventing disease. Use clean tools to prevent infections, ensuring a fuller and more attractive plant.
Propagation: Creeping psychotria is a tropical evergreen shrub that can be propagated through healthy tip cuttings. Trim the cuttings below the node, apply rooting hormone, and place in a moist, well-draining potting mix. Maintain warmth, humidity, and consistent moisture with indirect sunlight for successful rooting.
