Pectocarya is a genus adapted to arid environments, requiring full sun exposure and well-draining soils to thrive. Basic care needs involve moderate watering, with a reduction during the dormant season, and a preference for warm temperatures. Common challenges include susceptibility to overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Seasonally, pectocarya experiences a period of dormancy, usually in colder months, necessitating less frequent water and minimal maintenance. Gardeners should ensure that pectocarya receives adequate light and water regulation to prevent common issues.
