The genus lithraea generally requires well-drained soil and thrives in both full sun and partial shade, making it adaptable to various light conditions. Adequate water during establishment is important, but once established, it is relatively drought-tolerant. When planting lithraea, start by loosening the soil and incorporating organic matter if needed. Set the plants at the same depth as their container, ensuring proper spacing. Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture until roots are established. In practice, careful attention to each species' particular requirements is crucial, as different lithraea members may have varying needs.
