The best window for relocating red physic nut is from the heart of spring to its waning weeks, when stable temperatures support root establishment. Choose a sunny, well-drained site. Gentle handling during the process ensures successful acclimatization.
Characterized by its striking red seeds, red physic nut thrives with careful pruning to shape the plant and encourage healthy growth. Prune in early spring or summer, trimming dead or overgrown branches to boost air circulation and light penetration. Thin out the center to maintain an open framework, allowing for better exposure and fruit production. Regular pruning yields a sturdier plant with increased resilience to pests and diseases, enhancing both aesthetic and medicinal value.
