Jack-in-the-pulpit', or Jack-in-the-Pulpit, is a woodland plant genus requiring specific care. Basic Care Needs involve partial to full shade, regular watering, and well-drained, humus-rich soil. They are most comfortable in mild to cool temperatures, as extreme heat can stunt growth. Common Challenges include mealybugs and root rot. They are sensitive to overly sunny conditions, pollutants, and heavy soils. Seasonal considerations include more watering during dry summers and providing a protective layer of mulch in winter. Special attention is needed in spring to support their rapid growth.
