Raimondia conica Plant Care

Raimondia conica (Raimondia conica) belongs to the Annonaceae family within the Raimondia genus. Raimondia conica is native to Ecuador.

Raimondia conica displays a small tree, spreading canopy growth habit, reaching up to 15 ft tall with a spread of approximately 10 ft. Raimondia conica produces small, fragrant yellow flowers.

Leaf size: approximately 6 inches.

Water a young or newly planted Raimondia conica every 7–10 days, soaking the whole root zone, until it is established — usually one to two growing seasons. Established trees mainly need water during long dry spells. In a container, water whenever the top few centimetres of soil are dry.

Raimondia conica thrives in partial shade to full sun.

Raimondia conica tolerates temperatures of 65–85°F. Raimondia conica prefers humidity levels of 50–70%. A pebble tray or humidifier helps maintain adequate moisture around the plant.

Rich, well-draining soil with high organic content. Good drainage is essential for Raimondia conica to prevent waterlogging, which leads to root rot and fungal issues.

Feed Raimondia conica every 6 months during the growing season with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at the rate on the label. Established trees in good soil often need little extra feeding, so let weak growth or pale foliage guide you.

Stop feeding by late summer so new growth can harden before winter.

Choose a spot with partial shade to full sun and rich, well-draining soil with high organic content. Avoid low spots where water collects after rain.

Raimondia conica is suited to USDA Zone 13b.

Plant container-grown or balled-and-burlapped trees in spring or early autumn, setting the root flare at soil level, and water well after planting.

Raimondia conica can spread to about 10 ft (3 m) and reach about 15 ft (5 m) tall. Space plants about 10 ft (3 m) apart so mature crowns don't crowd each other, and plant at least half that distance from buildings, fences and paths.

Prune Raimondia conica while it is dormant in late winter: first remove dead, damaged and crossing branches, then thin lightly for shape.

If it flowers in spring, prune right after flowering instead so you don't remove next year's buds. Never take off more than about a quarter of the tree in one year.

Raimondia conica is frost-tender (hardy to USDA zone 13). In colder areas grow it in a container and move it to a bright, frost-free place before the first frost.

Raimondia conica can be propagated through seeds, stem cuttings.

Raimondia conica is susceptible to spider mites, scale insects, mealybugs. Inspect the foliage regularly, especially along leaf undersides and stems. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil to prevent spread.

Raimondia conica grows outdoors in USDA Zone 13b. It survives winters down to planting zone 13b. Raimondia conica is native to Ecuador. In cooler regions, grow Raimondia conica as a houseplant or bring it indoors before the first frost.
