Originating from moist, shaded forest floors, miterworts thrives in environments that mimic the consistent moisture of its native habitat. This species is characterized by a preference for steady humidity and demonstrates moderate drought tolerance. For optimal health, miterworts requires watering every week. Given its affinity for humid conditions, miterworts is more commonly grown indoors where moisture levels can be more easily regulated. In particular, as an herbaceous plant, miterworts's water uptake is crucial during its active growing season to support lush foliage and robust growth.
