Agarista comprises evergreen shrubs generally prized for their ornamental value and overall hardiness. In terms of basic care, they thrive in partial shade to full sunlight, depending on the specific species, and they require well-drained, acidic soil. Consistent moisture is important, but over-watering should be avoided to prevent root rot. Agarista are generally robust, but can face challenges such as pests like aphids and scale insects, as well as potential fungal diseases. Seasonally, they may need protection from extreme temperatures and adjustments in watering. In spring, mulching and monitoring growth is key, while summer requires vigilance against pests. Autumn is usually the time to reduce watering, and winter care often involves guarding against frost and providing adequate insulation.
