For the genus rothmannia, well-draining, fertile soil with a mildly acidic to neutral pH is optimal. These plants prefer dappled to bright indirect sunlight, with protection from harsh midday sun. Consistent moisture is key, yet soil should not be waterlogged. To plant rothmannia, prepare a hole twice as wide as the root ball and as deep. Place the plant ensuring the root crown is level with the soil surface, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Mulching helps retain moisture. During planting, gentle handling and correct spacing are important, as is ensuring specific species within the genus have their particular needs met.
