Description: How To Grow KatukKatuk can be grown from seed or cuttings. Seed can be quite slow to germinate but cuttings of 6-8 inches(15-20cm) take well. Katuk grows well as a hedge if seedlings or cuttings are planted close together and well fertilized.This plant can be grown in a variety of soil types, including clay, loam and sand, but prefers a well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH of 6-7. A general potting mix will work just fine for this plant.Katuk does well in partial shade, especially the kind of dappled light of a forest understory, but can be grown in full sun provided it is kept well watered.In cooler areas, this plant will be dormant, or go through a period of limited growth, in the non-growing season, and can be cut back quite heavily to stimulate regrowth in the spring.In such cool areas, the sweet leaf bush can be grown in containers, which can be overwintered indoors or in a greenhouse to avoid damage from cold weather.
