Water

Water: Stachyurus thrives in moisture-variable environments. It prefers evenly moist soil and should be watered biweekly, avoiding complete dryness. As an outdoor plant, stachyurus adapts its water uptake based on rainfall during the growing season, demonstrating resilience to both wet and dry conditions.

Propagation: Propagate stachyurus using semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or seeds with stratification. Ensure adequate moisture, warmth, and light. Steps include dipping cuttings in rooting hormone and maintaining humidity, or sowing seeds in autumn and transplanting seedlings cautiously.
