The butia, or 'Pindo Palm', is a tropical plant that thrives in bright light and requires well-draining soil. Overwatering poses a threat, thus a moderate watering routine is recommended. Temperature-wise, it thrives in climates above 20°F. Common challenges for butia include leaf spots and root rot, typically due to excessive water. Pest-wise, they may attract scale insects and mealybugs. Seasonal considerations include protecting the plant in extreme temperatures, as dramatically hot or cold conditions can damage it. Its watering routine could also be adjusted based on seasonal varying humidity levels.
