Belonging to the Phrymaceae family, the phryma genus is a simple-to-maintain plant group. Basic Care Needs include a preference for partial shade to full sunlight, well-draining soil, and an environment with a stable, moderate temperature. Common Challenges include susceptibility to rust disease, aphid infestations, and difficulty in tolerating waterlogged roots. Seasonal Considerations involve minimal care adjustments, with plants being essentially self-sufficient post-spring planting. Winter brings on dormancy, and summer requires regular watering to supplement rainfall in drier climates.
