Virgilia are small to medium sized trees, up to 15 to 20 m tall. The tree has shiny green, fern-like, pinnate foliage and displays attractive pea-like, mauve/pink, fragrant flowers during warmer months that will be followed by dark, leathery seed pods. Virgilia is distributed in Southern African.
Water:
Virgilia thrives in moderate moisture and stable humidity, being moderately drought-tolerant. Water consistently every two weeks, adjusting for seasonal rainfall during the growing season to support robust growth.
Propagation:
Virgilia propagates primarily through seed sowing and cuttings. Key factors include bright, indirect light, moderate temperatures, and well-draining soil. Seeds require scarification, while cuttings need rooting hormone. Follow specific steps for each method to ensure successful propagation.
