The sun cup genus, with its modest water needs, diverse light conditions adaptability, and typical tickseed bug invasions, requires mildly complex care. Basic needs involve medium-light exposure, well-drained, sandy or loamy soil, and warm temperatures. Seasonal considerations reflect the plant's preference for dry summer breaks and moist spring or autumn growing periods. Common challenges consist of tickseed bugs, susceptible to fungal infections in damp conditions, and vulnerability to frost damage. These resilient species are drought-tolerant, but an optimal care approach is beneficial for flourishing growth.
