Rubus rolfei aka Gao Shan Xuan Gou Zi

Gao Shan Xuan Gou Zi should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Gao Shan Xuan Gou Zi 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.

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.

The Gao Shan Xuan Gou Zi should be repotted either when it doubles in size or annually, whichever comes first. Providing new potting soil with all the vital nutrients annually is enough to support the growth of the plant, and thus, there is no need for fertilizer. Remember that plants derive their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.

Gao Shan Xuan Gou Zi’s native range is E. Asia - Formosa.
