Backhousia thrive in environments offering bright, indirect light but can tolerate partial shade. Moisting is critical, preferring well-draining, fertile soil kept consistently moist. They are sensitive to both over and under-watering. Optimal temperature ranges are moderate, avoiding extremes. Pests such as aphids and scale insects, along with root rot, present challenges, especially when improperly watered. Seasonal adjustments involve increased hydration in summer and reduced watering in winter, with care to avoid frost.
