The genus torchwood requires consistent care, thriving in well-lit environments with protection from direct, intense sunlight. Adequate watering is crucial, allowing soil to dry between watering sessions without letting roots sit in water. Preferred temperatures range from warm to moderate, with a slight drop in winter. A well-draining soil composition is essential to prevent root rot. Common challenges include susceptibility to pests such as aphids and scale, and disease prevention is significant, especially for fungal issues. Seasonally, torchwood demands protection from extreme temperatures, with increased humidity in summer and reduced watering in winter.
