The microula genus, originating in the Himalayan terrains, requires careful tending with appropriate light, temperature, and soil conditions. They need bright, indirect light, well-drained, gritty soils, and a cool environment with minimal humidity. Common challenges include susceptibility to root rot if overwatered and vulnerability to regular plant pests. Seasonal considerations are important, with less watering in winter, and adequate shading during harsh summer sun. They’re also tolerant to frost, making them suitable for cooler climates.
