Belonging to the Mulberry family, fatoua is a small-growing, weedy genus that thrives in optimum light, moist but well-drained soil conditions, and moderate temperature ranges. Basic care involves regular watering, maintenance of medium light levels, and use of nutrient-rich, organic soil. Common challenges include dealing with pests like aphids and diseases like fungal infestations. Seasonal changes mandate adjustment in watering and light management, with provisions for more humidity in summers and lesser during winters.
