The oxera genus requires well-draining soil, consistent moisture, and bright, indirect light to thrive. They prefer warm, humid environments typical of their native habitats. Common challenges include susceptibility to pests such as spider mites and mealybugs, and diseases like root rot from overwatering. Seasonally, oxera may need protection from temperature extremes and adjustments in watering routines, with less frequent water in winter, and increased humidity and vigilance for pests during warmer months.
