Care Guide for Pteroceltis

Every 3 weeks

Water

Water: Pteroceltis thrives in dry environments and is drought-tolerant, needing water every three weeks for deep root development. Commonly grown outdoors, it is deciduous and sheds leaves seasonally, which reduces its water requirements during dormancy.

Propagation: Propagation of pteroceltis primarily involves seed sowing and cuttings. Essential factors include light, temperature, and well-draining soil. Challenges include seed dormancy and rooting cuttings. For cuttings, select semi-hardwood stems, use rooting hormone, and provide high humidity until rooted. The difficulty level is moderate.
