The knightia genus requires moderate care, thriving in conditions that balance light and shade with ample water during growing seasons. They favor temperate climates, neutral to acidic soils, and demand regular attention to ward off common pests and diseases. Seasonally, knightia may need protection from extreme temperatures and adjustments in watering. In spring and summer, growth is vigorous, necessitating increased hydration, while autumn heralds a preparatory phase for winter dormancy, where care routines are minimized to match the plant's reduced activity.
