Nananthus species thrive in well-draining, sandy or gravelly soil, favoring a mix similar to that for succulents. They prefer bright, indirect light but can tolerate short periods of direct sun. Watering should be moderate, allowing the soil to dry between watering sessions. For planting, choose an area that meets these light and soil conditions. Dig a hole large enough for the root ball, position the nananthus, backfill, and gently tamp down. Initial care includes light watering and protection from extreme weather. Though general guidelines apply, specific species may have unique requirements.
