Rinorea comprises a diverse genus primarily characterized by its shrubby or small tree form, thriving in the understories of tropical forests. Its distinctive, glossy leaves often grow in alternate arrangements, while bell-shaped flowers frequently seen in clusters, hint at its adaptive strategies for attracting specific pollinators in shaded environments.
Water:
Rinorea , originating from moisture and drought-balanced environments, absorbs water efficiently and tolerates drought. Water every 2-3 weeks, letting soil dry slightly. Indoors, periodic misting enhances humidity, supporting its evergreen foliage and natural growth cycle.
Propagation:
Propagation of rinorea can be done via seeds or cuttings. Success hinges on bright indirect light, warmth, and well-draining soil. Germination needs consistent moisture, benefiting from scarification. For seeds, lightly scarify and keep moist; for cuttings, use semi-hardwood and maintain high humidity.
