Ideal Temperature

Water: Trema is drought-tolerant, thriving with consistent soil moisture without waterlogging. Water every 2-3 weeks, allowing soil to dry slightly. In outdoor settings, adjust watering according to natural rainfall, especially for deciduous species during dormancy when reduced leaf loss lowers water needs.

Propagation: Propagation of trema can be achieved via seeds or cuttings. For success, maintain warm temperatures, moist well-draining soil, and indirect light. Scarify seeds to enhance germination, and use healthy semi-woody cuttings dipped in rooting hormone. Monitor moisture to avoid rot during the moderate difficulty process.
