Illicium floridanum aka Florida Anisetree

Florida Anisetree is a low-maintenance plant that requires minimal attention, making it an excellent choice for beginners.

Florida Anisetree’s native range is South-eastern N. America - Florida to Louisiana.

Florida Anisetree should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Florida Anisetree loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Florida Anisetree 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.

The growth of Florida Anisetree is gradual and it doesn't necessitate any additional fertilizers. Replacing the soil in its pot once a year should suffice to provide the plant with sufficient nutrition. It's important to keep in mind that plants derive their energy from the sun's rays, not fertilizers.

Florida Anisetree is poisonous if ingested. We suggest keeping this plant out of reach if you have children, cats, or dogs in the home.

New growth will sprout from the top of the plant as it grows upwards.
