Care Guide for Tinospora

Every 3 weeks

Water

Water: Adapted to infrequent watering, tinospora flourishes with a schedule of once every three weeks. Its drought tolerance enables efficient water storage, sustaining vitality in dry conditions. As an outdoor plant, tinospora's growth depends on rainfall, necessitating supplemental watering during extended dry periods.

Propagation: Propagation of tinospora is achieved through stem cuttings or air layering, requiring warm, humid conditions and indirect sunlight. Use a rooting hormone to support root growth while preventing rot through proper care. Maintain soil moisture and monitor progress for successful establishment before transplanting.
