Tutsan is known for its resilience and low-maintenance care profile. The plant thrives in well-drained soil with regular watering but can tolerate short periods of drought. It's important to provide tutsan with full sun to partial shade for optimal growth. A special care point for tutsan is to avoid waterlogged conditions as this can lead to root rot. Seasonal pruning will help maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth.

How to Water tutsan?

Originating from damp woodlands, tutsan thrives in moist conditions, exhibiting a preference for consistent soil moisture without being waterlogged. It has moderate drought tolerance but flourishes with higher humidity levels. Watering should be adjusted to once every 1-2 weeks, ensuring the soil remains evenly moist. Typically grown outdoors due to its need for a natural environment, tutsan benefits greatly from mulching which helps retain soil moisture and mimics its native habitat's leaf litter.
