The genus glaucidium prefers moist, well-drained soil with an acidic to neutral pH. Ideally planted in part shade, glaucidium requires consistent moisture, and dappled sunlight is conducive to its growth. To plant glaucidium, till the soil to improve drainage, dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, position the plant, and backfill with soil. Water thoroughly post-planting and keep the soil evenly moist. Mulching helps retain moisture. It's key to research individual species for any specific requirements to ensure success.
