Cephalophyllum are succulent plants that thrive in environments with plenty of light, minimal water, and well-draining soil. Basic care involves exposure to full sun and minimal watering, allowing soil to dry between waterings. Cephalophyllum prefers mild temperatures and may struggle in extreme heat or frost. Common challenges include overwatering, which leads to root rot, and potential pests such as mealybugs. During seasonal shifts, reduce watering in winter and ensure cephalophyllum has adequate light during shorter days, adjusting care as temperatures fluctuate.
