Browntops thrives in environments that mimic its native humid and moist conditions, often found in the understory of tropical forests. It has a preference for consistent moisture but can tolerate short periods of dryness. For optimal health, browntops should be watered twice a week, ensuring the soil remains evenly damp without becoming waterlogged. Indoors, browntops benefits from higher humidity levels to replicate its natural habitat. When considering growth cycles, it's important to note that browntops's watering needs may decrease during its dormancy period.
