Diploknema Butyracea, Indian Butter Tree Plant

Diploknema butyracea, commonly known as the butter tree, is a unique plant that can thrive in specific conditions. Here are five care tips to help it flourish:

Light Requirements: Place your Diploknema butyracea in bright, indirect sunlight. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, but too much can scorch the leaves.

Soil Conditions: Use well-draining soil, ideally a mix designed for cacti or succulents. This helps prevent root rot by allowing excess water to escape.

Watering Schedule: Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. During the growing season (spring and summer), keep the soil moderately moist, but reduce watering in the winter.

Humidity and Temperature: This plant prefers warm, dry conditions. Maintain temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C) and ensure good air circulation.

Fertilization: Feed your Diploknema butyracea with a balanced, diluted fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) every 4-6 weeks. Avoid fertilizing in the winter when the plant is dormant.

With these tips, your Diploknema butyracea should thrive and add beauty to your space!
