Pinedrops is a genus of parasitic plants requiring special care needs. It thrives in cool, shaded environments with moist, well-drained, and humus-rich soil, and is sensitive to high temperatures. The plant often struggles with infestations of pests like aphids and fungal diseases, and requires careful monitoring for signs of distress. The plant is dormant in winter and requires minimal attention. In other seasons, care involves regular checks for pests and diseases, and ensuring the soil remains moist but not water-logged.
