For pygmypipes, choose acidic, well-draining soil, rich in organic matter, mimicking their native woodland habitats. They thrive under partial to full shade, with minimal direct sunlight. Maintain moist soil conditions without waterlogging. To plant, gently till the soil, ensuring it's loose and aerated. Carefully place pygmypipes plants, preserving root structures. Water thoroughly post-planting, and mulch to retain moisture. Regularly check soil moisture; pygmypipes species are sensitive to drought. Adapt plant care to the unique requirements of each species within the genus.
