Chinese parasol storax, a small tree or shrub genus from the family Styracaceae, requires moderate care. Basic needs involve well-draining, fertile soil, partial to full sunlight exposure, and mild to warm temperatures. Watering should be abundant but cautious, avoiding waterlogging. Common challenges include an intolerance to severe frosts and pests like aphids. Seasonal considerations entail increased watering in summer and a reduction in winter, with a need for mulching in autumn to retain soil moisture.
