    $172.00

    Natal Mahogany (Trichilia emetica or Trichilia dregeana) is a tropical evergreen tree native to southern Africa. Known for its lush foliage and adaptability, it is often grown as an ornamental plant in gardens or indoors as a large houseplant. Its attractive appearance and relatively low maintenance make it a popular choice among plant enthusiasts.

     

    Key Features:

     

    1. Foliage: Glossy, dark green, pinnate leaves with a dense, lush appearance. The leaves are made up of several oval-shaped leaflets.

     

     

    2. Growth Habit: Upright and bushy, forming a rounded crown when grown outdoors. Indoors, it can be pruned to maintain a smaller, tree-like shape.

     

     

    3. Size: Outdoors, it can grow up to 15-20 meters (50-65 feet) tall. Indoors, it typically reaches 1.5-3 meters (5-10 feet) with proper pruning.

     

     

     

    Care Tips:

     

    1. Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate partial shade but thrives best in well-lit conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

     

     

    2. Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.

     

     

    3. Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. While it adapts to average indoor conditions, occasional misting can benefit the plant in dry environments.

     

     

    4. Temperature: Thrives in warm temperatures between 18-26°C (65-80°F). Protect it from cold drafts and temperatures below 10°C (50°F).

     

     

    5. Soil: Requires well-draining soil. A mix of standard potting soil with sand or perlite works well to ensure proper drainage.

     

     

    6. Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter.

     

     

    7. Pruning: Prune regularly to control its size and shape, especially if grown indoors. Remove dead or yellowing leaves to maintain its appearance.

     

     

     

    Additional Notes:

     

    Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally encounter spider mites or scale insects. Regular cleaning of leaves helps prevent infestations.

     

    Propagation: Propagates through seeds or stem cuttings, though seeds may take time to germinate.

     

    Toxicity: The plant is considered mildly toxic if ingested, so keep it out of reach of pets and children.

     

     

    The Natal Mahogany is a versatile and attractive plant that brings a touch of tropical greenery to indoor or outdoor spaces. Its glossy foliage and manageable care needs make it a great choice for plant enthusiasts of all levels.
