Corokia are distinctive shrubs known for their tangled branches and small, dark leaves. For optimal growth, corokia require full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. They are drought-tolerant once established, needing moderate watering with reduced frequency in winter. Common challenges include spider mites and scale insects, which can trouble their foliage, and root rot due to overwatering. During spring and summer, careful watering and occasional pruning maintain health and shape, while winter requires protection from severe frosts. Autumn is ideal for transplanting or repotting.
