False coolwort typically requires a balance of indirect light and shade, consistent moisture without waterlogging, moderate temperatures, and rich, well-drained soil. Over-watering and under-watering are common challenges, alongside potential threats from pests like aphids and environmental sensitivities to drought or extreme temperatures. Seasonally, false coolwort may demand more water in summer and less in winter, with a careful watch for indoor heat sources that could dry out the air around it.
