Water: Sorbus thrives in temperate regions, preferring consistent moisture. Water once every 1-2 weeks, keeping soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Its hydration needs vary seasonally; adequate moisture during spring and summer supports healthy foliage and vibrant autumn berries.

Propagation: Propagating sorbus involves seed sowing, hardwood cuttings, or grafting. Seeds require stratification (3-4 months at 1-5°C) and should be sown in spring. Cuttings taken in late winter should be dipped in rooting hormone and planted in a cold frame. Key factors include soil, temperature, and light.
