Codonanthe thrives under bright, indirect light and appreciates high humidity and well-draining, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. It prefers consistently moist soil, but over-watering should be avoided. Codonanthe typically enjoys warm temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C). Common challenges include susceptibility to pests like spider mites and mealybugs, as well as issues caused by poor ventilation, such as fungal diseases. During winter, codonanthe requires less water and no fertilizer. Seasonal adjustments are crucial, with increased humidity in summer and protection from cold drafts in winter.
