Die Natternpflaume kann entweder als Blatt- oder Blütenpflanze gezüchtet werden. Die Pflanze blüht zeitweise mit den Blüten, gefolgt von roten Früchten. Um Früchte zu produzieren, müssen die Blüten von Hand bestäubt oder dort platziert werden, wo Bienen sie erreichen können. Die beste Blüte findet bei hoher oder voller Sonne statt. Als Laubpflanze genügt eine mäßige Lichtintensität. Jeder normale Boden, der mäßig feucht gehalten wird, ist befriedigend. Ideale Temperaturen liegen zwischen 55 und 70 Grad. Ein Zwerg Typ namens 'Nana Compacta' ist verfügbar.
Die Vermehrung erfolgt durch Stecklinge, die im Herbst entnommen wurden. Verwenden Sie hellgrünes neues Wachstum für Stecklinge.

FAQ - 💬
❓ Is Carissa toxic?
👉 The Natal plum (Carissa macrocarpa) is a member of the Dogbane or Apocynaceae family. A relative of the poisonous Oleander, the stems and leaves of the Natal plum are toxic and should never be consumed. The fruit of the Natal plum shrub is the only edible part of the plant.
❓ Is Natal Plum the same as boxwood?
👉 Boxwood Beauty also known as the Natal Plum shrubs are great for small areas or bordering your landscape (botanical name is Carissa Macrocarpa). This is a short shrub with small round clustered dark green leaves that gets to be about 1-3 feet tall and can get up to 3-6 foot wide.
❓ What do num num berries taste like?
👉 They taste like a slightly sweet cranberry with the texture of a ripe strawberry — some say like a sightly unripe cherry.

❓ Is Carissa poisonous to dogs?

❓ How do you prune natal plum?
👉 You can trim your Natal plum Bonsai anytime of the year. Do major pruning in mid to late spring, after flowering. Do not prune all the green foliage off a branch, as this will cause the branch to die back. Otherwise, you will find that it tends to bud back with vigor.

White, star-shaped flowers that are 2 inches wide appear throughout the plant in the spring.
❓ How do you eat Carissa fruit?

❓ How fast does Carissa grow?
👉 The fruit matures in approximately 60 days, yielding most of its fruit in the summer. Carissa is not usually available in commercial markets. It is most often grown in South Florida. The fruit production peaks around Thanksgiving and some people favor it over cranberries.
