Dittrichia, a genus of flowering plants, thrives in an environment with full sun exposure, moderate watering, and well-drained soil. The plants are well-equipped for heat and can withstand mild frosts, preferring temperate to warm climates. Nevertheless, they are at risk of root rot in overly saturated soils and caterpillar infestations. Their foliage may suffer in extreme cold, necessitating winter protection in colder climates. With the arrival of spring, monitor water levels to ensure healthy growth as temperatures rise.
