Plants in the genus curtisia thrive in well-draining, fertile soil with a preference for a consistent moisture level. They enjoy a balance of sunlight and partial shade, suggesting a sheltered location with dappled light. To plant, dig a hole double the root ball's width, place the curtisia ensuring the root crown is level with the soil surface, and backfill gently. Water thoroughly after planting and maintain soil moisture without overwatering. Though curtisia is not a diverse genus, always verify the specific needs of your species.
