Richea is a genus of plants typically found in alpine and subalpine regions, which dictate its basic care needs. High light exposure without direct scorching sun, consistent moisture without waterlogging, cool to moderate temperatures, and well-draining acidic soil are essential for richea's well-being. Common challenges include root rot, fungal diseases, and sensitivity to overwatering and heat. Seasonally, richea may require protection from intense winter cold and drying winds, along with a reduction in watering during dormant periods.
