Originating from regions with intermittent rainfall, sidneya has adapted to thrive in conditions where water is not always readily available, displaying a notable drought tolerance. This resilience translates into a watering regimen of once every 2-3 weeks, ensuring the soil dries out between sessions to mimic its natural habitat. Typically grown outdoors due to its robust nature, sidneya flourishes when seasonal rains punctuate its growth cycle, aligning with periods of active development and reduced watering needs during dormancy.
