Pearly everlastings thrive in full to partial sunlight, requiring well-draining soil with moderate fertility. Water needs are low, as pearly everlastings is drought-tolerant once established. Ideal temperatures are typical of temperate regions, avoiding extreme cold or heat. Common challenges include root rot from overwatering and infestations by aphids or spider mites. Seasonally, mulch can protect roots in winter, while reduced watering is needed when dormant.
