The genus excoecaria generally prefers a well-draining soil type, bright indirect sunlight, and consistent moisture levels. To plant excoecaria, prepare the planting area by loosening the soil and mixing in compost for added nutrients. Position the excoecaria in the soil with the top of the root ball level with the surface. After planting, water thoroughly. While excoecaria species share these basics, individual needs may vary. Always learn about each species' specific requirements, as some may need more sun or less water.
