How to Grow and Care

Light: Very bright indirect light.

Water: Keep the soil moist but not soggy; allow the top two inches to dry out before watering.

Humidity: These plants do best in medium humidity. If your home is very dry, especially in the winter, set a small humidifier near your Podocarpus or place it on a bed of wet gravel. Be sure the plant is sitting on the gravel and not in the water.

Feed: Feed a Podocarpus every two weeks when it is actively growing. Use a plant food that is designed for acid loving plants such as Miracid at 1/2 the recommended strength.

Height and Growth Rate: When planted outside in the ground a Podocarpus grows quite large, but when used indoors or on the porch as a potted plant, it remains a small tree or shrub.

These plants are considered poisonous and should be kept away from pets and children.

Suitable for Indoors.
