The dumortiera , a genus of moisture-loving liverwort, requires a careful approach to its basic care needs. Given its shade and high-humidity preferences, it thrives in indirect sunlight and demands frequent, but regulated watering. Complementing the moist care profile, temperatures should align with its natural tropical or subtropical habitat. Acidic, rich, and well-draining soil best supports dumortiera 's growth. Common challenges include root rot and mildew, often due to overwatering, and aphids or spider mites. Seasonally, increased hydration in summer and reduced watering in winter create a balanced setting, while vigilance for pest infestations is heightened during spring and autumn.
