Cinchona pubescens aka Quinine

Quinine presents a moderate level of care, which allows plant enthusiasts with some experience to expand their skills and knowledge.

To ensure optimal growth, the Quinine prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

During the wintertime, it's common for Quinine to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more.

The toxicity level of this plant has not been officially confirmed by Ploi. If there is a possibility of ingestion of plant material with an uncertain toxicity by you, a family member, or a pet, it is advisable to seek the assistance of a medical professional.

Quinine’s native range is S. America - Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela; C. America - Panama, Costa Rica.
