Ceratocarpus requires moderate care, thriving in well-draining soil and benefiting from bright, indirect light. Regular watering is essential, though the plant must dry out between sessions. It prefers a consistent temperature range, avoiding frost and extreme heat. Common challenges include sensitivity to overwatering, susceptibility to pests like aphids, and diseases such as root rot. Seasonally, ceratocarpus may need protection from harsh elements and adjusted watering as growth slows in autumn and winter.
