Hailing from the sub-tropical climate of South America, luma plants require moderate sunlight, well-draining soil, and consistent moisture. Ideal temperatures range from 59-79°F. Common challenges include susceptibility to powdery mildew, aphid infestations, and potential frost damage in colder regions. Seasonally, luma plants may need added humidity during hot, dry summers, and protection from frost in winter. Regular pruning in spring aids healthy growth. With attentive care, luma plants can thrive both indoors and outdoors.
