Burmeistera requires a balance of indirect light and shade, consistent moisture without waterlogging, and well-draining, humus-rich soil. It thrives in moderate temperatures and high humidity. Gardeners often face challenges with burmeistera due to overwatering, low humidity, and pest infestations like aphids. Seasonally, burmeistera may need protection from intense sun in the summer and cooler indoor conditions in the winter, with reduced watering in the dormant season.
