博斯韦利亚纳纳 (Boswellia nana)

博斯韦利亚纳纳 (Boswellia nana)的基本数据

养护难度

适合高级者

寿命

长寿命的多年生木本植物（寿命资料缺乏）

体型

原生地高度约60cm（悬崖上下垂60～100cm）。栽培条件下可超过1米

浇水

春至夏季每月施液体肥料约1次

日照与摆放位置

喜欢光线充足、通风良好的地方。夏季放在室外阳光充足处至半阴处会长成紧凑的株形。

浇水

生长期和开花期增加浇水量。过度浇水会导致落叶，应保持与其他多肉植物相同的浇水量。

温度与越冬

冬季在明亮处保持最低12～15℃。若保持温暖则不完全干燥，若置于凉爽处则控制浇水使其休眠。

土壤与换盆

每2年在冬季休眠结束后进行一次换盆，整理根系。有一定的耐根部拥挤能力。

修剪与造型

粗壮的株基和少数短枝就能形成造型，无需强剪，修剪应保持最少。

病害虫与注意事项

原生地仅2处已知，是深刻危机物种。为了保护，应选择国内从实生苗培育的株，而非源于索科特拉岛野生株的植株。

关于博斯韦利亚纳纳 (Boswellia nana)

Boswellia nana is a dwarf frankincense relative from Socotra Island, known for its bottle-shaped base and pink-to-crimson flowers. An advanced-level caudex species — explore care tips and FAQs.

开始养护博斯韦利亚纳纳 (Boswellia nana)前需要了解的7件事

1. 1Placement & Sunlight

   Boswellia nana thrives with strong light and good airflow, much like its native cliffside habitat. Indoors, place it as close to direct sun as possible — a shaded windowsill will leave the base looser and less compact.

2. 2Watering

   This plant is adapted to dry, rocky terrain, so overwatering is the main cause of root rot. Water thoroughly once the soil has dried out during the growing season, and cut back further when growth slows.

3. 3Choosing the Right Soil

   A soil that retains too much moisture invites root rot, so use a fast-draining mix heavy in akadama, pumice, or similar mineral components. A coarse drainage layer at the bottom of the pot also helps prevent water from pooling.

4. 4When to Repot

   The roots are sensitive, so repot only once temperatures have stabilized and the plant is actively growing. Avoid disturbing the root ball more than necessary — trim only damaged roots and move up to a pot roughly the same size or slightly larger.

5. 5Winter Care

   Boswellia nana is sensitive to cold, so move it to a warm, bright indoor spot as temperatures drop. Growth slows and water uptake decreases during cooler months, so water even less frequently and let the soil stay on the dry side.

6. 6Choosing by Base Shape

   The appeal of Boswellia nana lies in its rounded, bottle-shaped base. When choosing a plant, look for a firm, unblemished base without excessive wrinkling, a good sign for healthy future growth.

7. 7Patience Pays Off

   Growth is slow, and it can take years before the distinctive silhouette really develops. This plant suits growers who enjoy watching a caudex change gradually rather than expecting fast results.
