Bocconia , a perennial plant genus, requires moderate care. Basic needs include full sun to partial shade exposure, regular water supply without waterlogging, intermediate temperatures, and well-drained soils. Common gardening challenges involve pests like caterpillars and diseases including fungal infections, especially when planted in overly wet conditions. Seasonally, bocconia may need reduced watering in winter and increased vigilance for pests in warmer months. Gardeners must adjust care with seasonal shifts for optimal growth.
