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.
