Cassia Tree

To care for a Cassia plant, provide it with full sun (6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily), well-drained soil, and consistent watering. Established plants need infrequent watering, primarily during dry periods. Pruning can be done in late winter or early spring, and mulching helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Detailed Care Guide: Sunlight: Cassias thrive in full sun, requiring a minimum of 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Soil: Choose well-drained soil, as Cassias are susceptible to root rot if the soil is consistently wet. Watering: Water deeply once a week, but adjust based on rainfall and temperature. Established plants may only need watering during dry periods. Overwatering can lead to problems like yellowing leaves and root rot. Mulching: Apply a 2-inch layer of mulch around the plant, keeping it away from the stem, to help retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Pruning: Prune Cassias in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged branches. You can also prune after flowering to maintain a more compact shape.
