Care Guide for Styrophyton

Every 2-3 weeks

Water

Water: Styrophyton thrives in conditions resembling its native habitat, requiring minimal watering every 2-3 weeks. It demonstrates high drought tolerance and benefits from a mulch layer to retain soil moisture during hot periods, allowing soil to dry out between waterings.

Propagation: Propagation of styrophyton involves seed sowing and cuttings, requiring partial sun, mild temperatures, and well-draining soil. Manage humidity and avoid waterlogging. Seeds need superficial sowing in a moist mix, while cuttings require healthy stems, rooting hormone, and high humidity. Both methods demand patience and care.
