Horehounds, a genus of flowering plants, require moderate care overall. These plants prefer full to partial sun exposure, slightly alkaline to neutral soil, and moderate watering, allowing soil to dry before next watering. Temperature tolerance varies, however, they commonly thrive in warmer climates. Common challenges include spider mites and leaf spot. Seasonal considerations involve reducing watering in winter, reassessing light exposure in summer and late spring due to longer days, fall is often the best propagation period. They need little to no pruning, maintaining an attractive shape in all seasons.
