The brookweeds genus generally prefers well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter and a slightly acidic to alkaline pH. Adequate sunlight, either full or partial, is crucial for their growth. They require regular watering but can withstand occasional dry spells. To plant, prepare a hole twice the size of the plant's root ball, place the plant in, and backfill with soil, firming gently. Initial care involves keeping soil moist and protecting young plants from harsh conditions. While most brookweeds species share these traits, some variations might occur, so understanding the needs of specific species is essential.
