Desmos, a tropical plant genus, require a warm and humid environment to thrive. They prefer a consistently moist, well-drained soil and bright, indirect light. Care challenges often involve pests like mealybugs and aphids and plant diseases such as root rot due to over-watering. Seasonally, desmos enjoy higher humidity and temperature in summer and reduced watering in cooler months. However, frost should be avoided throughout the year, as they are not frost-tolerant.
