Catha is a genus of flowering plants that requires attentive care. For basic needs, catha typically thrives in environments with bright, indirect light and well-draining soil with a mild pH balance. Regular watering is crucial, but overwatering should be avoided to prevent root rot. Catha prefers a temperate climate but can endure short periods of colder temperatures. Common challenges include susceptibility to pests such as aphids and spider mites, as well as fungal diseases. Seasonally, catha may demand more water during active growth in spring and summer, with reduced watering in autumn and winter. Attention to lower light levels in colder months is also necessary, along with careful monitoring for indoor heating effects.
