Petiveria alliacea aka Strong Man Bush

Strong Man Bush requires a bit more attention and knowledge to thrive, making it a suitable plant for those with some gardening experience.

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

Strong Man Bush’s native range is S. America - Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, north through S. America to the Caribbean and Florida, through Central America to Mexico and Texas.

Strong Man Bush should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

To ensure optimal growth, the Strong Man Bush 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.

Ploi's records do not contain confirmed information on the toxicity of this particular plant. In the event of accidental ingestion of plant material with questionable toxicity by you, a family member, or a pet, it is always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional.

During the cold period, it is common for Strong Man Bush to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more during this period.
