For the 'tenaxia' genus, well-draining soil is essential, with preference for a slightly acidic to neutral pH. They thrive in areas with ample sunlight but can tolerate partial shade. Regular watering is necessary, but the soil should be allowed to dry between sessions. Plant 'tenaxia' by loosening the soil, digging a hole twice the size of the root ball, and setting the plant at the same depth it was in the container. Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture during initial growth. Adapt plant spacing and depth to the species' size and growth habit, and be mindful of each species' specific requirements within the 'tenaxia' genus.
