How to keep Dombeya Tiliacea.
Light
Forest wild pear is native to habitats like forest understories and rocky areas, where it occurs under natural shade. It prefers partial sun but can tolerate both full sun and full shade, demonstrating its versatility and hardiness.
Temperature
Forest wild pear adapts well to temperature, tolerating higher heat and wide temperature swings. In hot weather, care should be taken with irrigation and providing suitable shade to avoid sunburn.
