Trochocarpa comprises a genus of evergreen shrubs native to Australia and Tasmania. These plants typically feature dense, glossy leaves and bear small, globular, and often blue or purple berries. Adapted to thrive in both understorey and montane forest environments, trochocarpa utilizes its robust foliage to retain moisture and withstand varied light conditions, essential for survival in diverse and occasionally challenging habitats.
Propagation:
Propagation of trochocarpa primarily occurs through seed sowing, requiring dappled light and well-draining, consistently moist soil. Moderate temperatures (15-20°C) are essential. Initial germination may be challenging, with fresh seeds needing treatment to break dormancy and careful transplanting of delicate roots when seedlings are ready.
