The schotia genus, known for its ornamental beauty and usefulness in landscaping, demands a careful balance of appropriate light, consistent watering, and favorable temperatures for optimal growth. They favor well-draining, fertile soil and moderate exposure to sunlight. Gardeners often face challenges with pests such as aphids and environmental sensitivities, including drought and frost. As the seasons change, schotia requires adjustments in care; less water during dormant winter months, protection from extreme temperatures, and potentially more frequent watering in the growth-abundant spring and summer. Seasonal pruning ensures health and encourages flowering.
