Chamaecrista, a sun-loving genus, enjoys heat and humidity but tolerates dry conditions. It thrives in well-draining soil, with moderate watering, and favors temperatures between 60-85 degrees F. Nonetheless, excessive water, lack of sunlight and cool temperature could hinder its growth. Common challenges include spider mites and leaf spots. It matures from spring to summer, requiring additional care against pests. In winter, its dormancy period, minimal water and temperature control are paramount, while an increase in humidity and shading can aid during hot, dry summers.
