Keteleeria, a low-maintenance coniferous genus, thrives well in full sun conditions with well-draining, mildly acidic to alkaline soil. Providing adequate water, especially in dry spells is important while avoiding waterlogging. Commonly, pests like aphids and scale insects may infest, while fungal diseases due to dampness can cause damage. The genus requires minimal seasonal adjustments, but protecting from severe frosts in winter and heavy pruning is recommended in late winter or early spring.
