🌱 How to Plant and Care for Kamini
Planting
- Soil: Prefers well-draining, fertile soil enriched with organic matter.
- Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to partial shade.
- Spacing: For hedges, plant 800 mm apart; for individual trees, ensure adequate spacing for growth.
Propagation
- Seeds: Collect seeds from ripe berries, clean them thoroughly, and sow in a well-draining mix of soil and cocopeat. Maintain a warm, humid environment for germination.
- Stem Cuttings: Take semi-hardwood cuttings, dip the cut ends in rooting hormone, and plant in a moist, well-draining potting mix. Keep in a humid environment until roots develop.
Care Tips
- Watering: Regular watering is essential when young; the plant becomes drought-tolerant as it matures.
- Pruning: Light pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages denser growth.
- Fertilization: Apply balanced organic fertilizers during the growing season to promote healthy growth.
