The sauvagesia is a tropical genus that demands consistently moist, well-draining soil along with moderate to high light exposure to thrive. Basic care involves maintaining a warm, humid environment, avoiding cold drafts, and situating sauvagesia in indirect but bright light. Gardeners may encounter common challenges such as leaf spot or pest infestations, including aphids and spider mites. Seasonally, sauvagesia requires increased humidity in summer and reduced watering in winter, with careful attention to light levels as daylight fluctuates.
