Lasianthus comprises evergreen shrubs typically found in tropical forests, requiring care that mirrors their native humid and shaded conditions. Basic care involves medium to low light, consistent moisture without waterlogging, warm temperatures, and well-draining, fertile soil. Common challenges are overwatering, which can lead to root rot, and susceptibility to pests like spider mites in dry conditions. Seasonal care adjustments include reduced watering in winter and protection from direct sun in summer to mimic their natural growing cycle.
