Astilboides is a shade-loving, semi-aquatic plant genus with simple care needs including low to medium light exposure, regular moisture, and fertile and well-draining soil. While the plants are generally robust, they may be prone to common garden pests and diseases such as aphids and powdery mildew. Seasonally, astilboides needs protection from freezing in winter and it blossoms in late spring or early summer, making spring a key season for its care. Regular watering is critical, particularly in warmer, dry seasons, but overwatering should be avoided.
