Podonosma necessitates well-drained, loamy soil paired with moderate watering to prevent root rot. Preferring bright, indirect light, podonosma's optimal temperature range is warm, avoiding frost. Common challenges include infestations by aphids and spider mites, along with potential fungal diseases. Seasonal care requires reduced watering in winter and protection from extreme temperatures, while in growth periods of spring and summer, more consistent moisture and light exposure is paramount.
