The milkvetch genus, famous for its resilience, has a reputation for being fairly low-maintenance. Basic care involves a good balance of light and water, preferring full sun exposure and infrequent watering. These plants thrive in well-drained soil in temperatures not exceeding 30°C (86°F). Common challenges include pests like aphids and diseases such as root rot, thus requiring regular monitoring. Seasonally, the milkvetch needs little extra care in most seasons, but in winter, protection against extreme cold or frost may be necessary.
