Thespesia, a sun-loving genus, thrives in well-draining soil and temperatures above 15°C, with consistent moisture levels. Basic care needs encompass access to bright but indirect sunlight, regular watering avoiding over-saturation. Thespesia is prone to common pests like spider mites, aphids, and can also be affected by root and stem rot diseases. During colder months, these tropical and subtropical plants may require additional protection. In hotter months, monitoring water levels is key to prevent dehydration.
