Belonging to the Oxalidaceae family, the biophytum genus is generally easy to care for. Basic needs include bright, indirect light, regular watering (allowing soil to dry between sessions), warmth, and well-draining and slightly acidic soil. Common challenges faced by biophytum pertain to overwatering, pest infestations, particularly by aphids and spider mites, and susceptibility to fungal diseases in excessively damp conditions. Seasonal care necessitates increased watering in the growth-rich summer months and reduced watering in winter. Regular monitoring and environmental adjustments are key to robust biophytum health.
