How to grow mahogany flowers

Rosewood likes to grow in slightly acidic, humus-rich sandy soil. It also needs to be given plenty of sunlight and watered every two days in summer and autumn during the growing season. Liquid fertilizer should be applied once every 15-20 days. Wait until late autumn to adjust the watering interval to one week. In the first year of planting, when the temperature drops to 5 degrees, it is best to cover it with a film to help it withstand the cold winter.
