Adapted to less frequent rainfall, markhamia thrives with a watering schedule that mimics its tolerance for drier conditions. This species is well-suited to environments where water conservation is key, requiring hydration once every 2-3 weeks. Its native resilience allows it to store water efficiently between these intervals. As an outdoor plant often found in regions with distinct wet and dry seasons, markhamia 's growth cycle is attuned to the rhythm of precipitation, making it adept at maximizing water uptake during the growing season.
