Parkia is a tropical genus that requires a warm and humid environment to thrive. Care involves providing full to partial sunlight, regular watering while ensuring soil drainage to prevent root rot, and maintaining temperature above 15°C (59°F). Parkia prefers fertile, well-draining soil. Common challenges include attacks by pests like aphids and caterpillars, as well as diseases such as root rot. Seasonally, parkia benefits from protection against temperature extremes, with reduced watering in cooler months and vigilance for pest infestations during warm, wet periods.
