The graptophyllum genus, known for its ornamental foliage, demands moderate care. It thrives in bright, indirect light and requires well-draining soil with regular watering to keep the soil consistently moist. The ideal temperature range is between 60-85°F. Common challenges for graptophyllum include aphids, mealybugs, and fungal diseases, with leaves prone to discoloration if improperly cared for. Seasonally, graptophyllum benefits from reduced watering in winter and protection from extreme temperatures, ensuring vibrant growth throughout the year.
