Water:
Singkrang thrives in humid environments, requiring consistent moisture without waterlogging. Water every 2-3 weeks, letting the soil dry slightly in between. Ideal for indoor growth, singkrang benefits from controlled humidity, which is crucial for its delicate flowering phase.
Fertilize:
To enhance singkrang's growth and flowering, apply a balanced fertilizer monthly in the growing season, switching to high-nitrogen in spring. Use sparingly to avoid harm, adjusting for size. Reduce fertilization in dormancy and water post-application to improve nutrient absorption and mitigate root damage.
Pruning:
Singkrang features unique foliage and ornamental potential. Prune in early to late winter during dormancy to promote healthy growth. Remove dead limbs and thin branches for air circulation. Clean cuts prevent disease, enhancing both structure and aesthetics, crucial for singkrang's health and appeal.
Propagation:
Singkrang prefers rich, well-draining soil with moderate moisture and thrives in shaded, warm environments. Propagation involves using cuttings from semi-woody stems, secured with a sterile instrument. Rooting hormone aids development, and regular misting maintains humidity during the rooting process.
