Espeletiopsis demands attentive care, thriving best in environments that mimic its native high-mountain habitats. They require full to partial sunlight, moderate watering respecting their drought-resistant nature, and well-draining soil that is slightly acidic to neutral in pH. Gardeners often face challenges with espeletiopsis, including root rot from overwatering, frost damage, and pests such as aphids. Seasonal care adjustments are significant, with a need to protect espeletiopsis from extreme winter temperatures and to reduce watering frequency during this dormant period. Conversely, in the growing seasons of spring and summer, espeletiopsis benefits from increased hydration and vigilance against pests.
