False indigos, a genus of flowering plants, requires basic care needs for optimal growth. These include access to full sun or part shade, well-draining soil, and regular watering. Temperatures ranging between 50°-85°F are optimal. Common challenges include infestations from pests like aphids and diseases such as root rot, typically due to overwatering. There's an increased vulnerability towards cold weather in the winter season, whereas in spring and early summer, blooming becomes prolific. Regular pruning post blooming keeps false indigos healthy.
