The dichotomanthes genus consists of hardy, subtropical plants that appreciate full sun to partial shade environments. Their basic care needs include regular watering, well-draining soil, and mild to warm temperatures, making sure not to overwater during winter. Common challenges involve pests like aphids and fungal diseases, especially root rot. Seasonally, dichotomanthes require lower watering levels in winter and may benefit from additional shading during the hottest summer months. Their care is generally straightforward, requiring basic gardening knowledge and attention to environmental changes.
