The genus tenaxia encompasses plants with moderate care needs, reflecting a balance between moisture and light, and requiring well-draining soil to thrive. Caretakers of tenaxia should maintain a tempered environment, as extremes in temperature can be detrimental. Common challenges for tenaxia include susceptibility to certain pests, such as aphids and fungal diseases, likely in conditions of poor air circulation or overwatering. Seasonally, tenaxia may demand variable waterings, less in winter, and might endure growth spurts in spring or summer, necessitating increased attention to pruning and support.
