The speirantha genus comprises evergreen perennials with glossy leaves and star-shaped flowers. Basic necessities include semi-shaded light, moist but well-draining soil, and a temperate climate, usually between 15-25°C. Common challenges are slugs, snails, and root rot caused by overwatering. During spring and summer, speirantha needs regular watering, but less in autumn and winter. The plant's leaves can be damaged by frost, requiring protection in colder seasons.
