Soil Type

Water: Originating from arid regions, terminalia thrives with minimal moisture and exhibits high drought tolerance. Watering should occur every 2-3 weeks, allowing soil to dry out. Its deep root system efficiently utilizes available water, making terminalia suitable for outdoor growth and xeriscaping.

Propagation: Propagation of terminalia can be achieved through seeds or cuttings, requiring warm, humid conditions and well-draining soil. Seeds may benefit from stratification, while cuttings should use semi-hardwood sections and rooting hormone. Care is needed to avoid over-watering and fungal diseases for successful growth.
