The bencomia genus thrives in well-draining soil, requiring a location with full sunlight to partial shade and moderate water. To plant, select an area that meets these conditions, and amend the soil for optimal drainage if necessary. Space the plants according to their mature size, dig holes twice the width of the root ball, and place them at the same depth they were growing in their containers. Water immediately after planting to settle the soil. Mulch lightly to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Individual species may have specific needs, so always verify the requirements for the species you're planting.
