A Basic Cultural Perspective
Growing the Tetragonostachys is relatively easy ONCE you have established the plant in its new habitat (pot, container). The only real requirement is to give the plant the best quality water that is available: either reverse/osmosis, distilled, deionized, or rain. For newly potted plants a thorough soaking upon the initial potting followed by daily mistings and weekly waterings should be sufficient for weather that is typical for central coastal California. Adjustment in care must be made according to exposure, temperature highs and lows, and the severity of any dessicating factors, such as Santa Anas. Once established, within 12 months time, the plant can be watered weekly and misted as weather demands and as the plant responds by drying back.
