The krigia genus comprises sun-loving, heat-tolerant plants often found in open, dry areas. These plants generally need full sun exposure and well-draining soil. They can tolerate drought, but would thrive best with moderate, regular watering. Krigia is susceptible to pests like aphids and mites, and diseases such as fungal leaf spots. During hot, dry summers, they can struggle with water shortage and may need additional watering. In colder seasons, they remain dormant, needing less maintenance.
