The leadtrees genus, comprising mostly tropical evergreens, is celebrated for its resilience and adaptability. Basic care needs include full sun to partial shade, medium water, and tolerant of a range of soil types, including poor soils. Common challenges can include pests like seed beetles or diseases like twig blight. Its tolerance to drought and heat makes it low-maintenance in the warmer seasons, while in winter it needs protection from frost. Adjustments in watering and positioning may be needed in different seasons, especially in temperate climates.
