Water:
Needlewood Tree, hailing from Southeast Asia, thrives in humid conditions similar to tropical rainforests. It retains water well and requires weekly watering to avoid waterlogging. Typically grown outdoors, needlewood Tree has a growing season that aligns with the monsoon cycle, enabling it to absorb significant moisture.
Fertilize:
Needlewood Tree should be fertilized bi-annually with balanced nutrition during spring and summer, following package guidelines to prevent overfertilization. Use controlled-release formulas and prioritize safety. Adjust fertilization based on seasonal growth; less is needed during dormancy for optimal health and vitality.
Pruning:
Needlewood Tree, known for its needle-like leaves, thrives with careful pruning. Trim during dormancy (early to late winter) to shape growth, remove dead branches, and improve airflow. This practice enhances aesthetics, minimizes stress, and boosts health, resulting in a robust, resilient structure for optimal longevity.
Propagation:
Needlewood Tree is a hardy genus typically propagated through semi-hardwood cuttings taken below a leaf node. Treatment with rooting hormone and use of moist, well-draining soil in indirect light are essential, along with regular misting to maintain humidity without water logging.
