Desert sunflowers is a sturdy desert plant genus demanding minimum fuss and basic care. The primary needs revolve around full sun exposure, low to modest water spoiling, and dry, well-drained soil. These plants are comfortable in arid, warm atmospheres. Common challenges include infrequent but potential attacks by pests like aphids and mealybugs, as well as potential sensitivity to overwatering. Seasonally, desert sunflowers plants require additional water in summer, while in winter, they enter a resting period, needing even less care.
