Tree Care Instructions

  1. Light Requirements: Terminalia Mantaly Variegata thrives in full sun to partial shade. For optimal growth and vibrant foliage, plant it in a location that receives plenty of sunlight.
  2. Watering: Water the tree regularly during its initial growth phase to help establish a strong root system. Once established, the tree is drought-tolerant, but regular watering during dry spells will promote healthier growth.

Common Problems and Solutions

  3. Root Rot: Overwatering or poorly drained soil can lead to root rot. Ensure the soil is well-drained, and avoid excessive watering, especially during the rainy season.
