Water: Keep the soil evenly moist, but not soggy. Allow the top layer of soil to dry out slightly between waterings, and reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant.
Fertilize: Feed your plant monthly during the spring and summer with a diluted liquid fertilizer to encourage growth.
Prune: Trim any leggy or overly long branches to encourage a bushier, fuller plant.
🌿 Harvesting Star Anise
Wait for 3-4 years for the tree to mature and begin producing fruit.
Harvest the star-shaped seed pods once they turn rusty red and dry them in the sun to preserve their flavor.
⚠️ Watch Out For…
Yellow Leaves: This could be a sign of overwatering or poor drainage. Make sure the pot has adequate drainage and avoid soggy soil.
Pests: Watch for aphids or scale insects. If they appear, wipe the leaves with neem oil to keep them at bay.
