Care Guide for Telosma

Every 1-2 weeks

Water

Water: Originating from areas with intermittent rainfall, telosma is drought-tolerant and thrives with watering every 1-2 weeks. Preferring natural light and outdoor growth, this species benefits from occasional rain, which supports its growth and moisture retention.

Propagation: Telosma propagates through stem cuttings or seeds, requiring warm temperatures, high humidity, and well-draining soil. Cuttings should have one node, be taken during active growth, and placed in moist soil covered with plastic. Provide indirect light and monitor moisture until rooted.
