Care Guide for Rhodotypos

Every 1-2 weeks

Water

Water: Rhodotypos thrives in moderate water conditions, needing irrigation every 1-2 weeks. It adapts to intermittent rainfall, maintaining a balance between drought resistance and hydration. During dormant periods, it requires less frequent watering, reflecting its growth cycle linked to seasonal rain patterns.

Propagation: Rhodotypos propagates via seed sowing or softwood cuttings, the latter being preferred. Success depends on well-draining soil, light, and warmth. Seeds need stratification; cuttings require rooting hormone and humidity. Moderate difficulty arises from low germination rates and management challenges during rooting.
