Synsepalum is a plant genus that requires a warm tropical climate, high humidity, and ample light for optimal growth. Its basic care involves well-draining, fertile soil and regular watering without waterlogging. Challenges include pest infestations particularly by mealybugs, aphids, and susceptibility to root rot if over-watered. Each season requires considerations; in summer and spring, ensure it gets enough light and water without drying out while in autumn and winter, reduce watering but do not allow the plant to dry completely.
