The genus thevetia comprises robust, evergreen shrubs or trees known for their showy, trumpet-shaped flowers. In terms of basic care, thevetia requires full sun to partial shade for optimal growth and flowering. It thrives in well-drained soils and prefers a warm, frost-free climate, with temperatures above 50°F (10°C). Regular watering is crucial, especially during dry periods, but care should be taken not to overwater as thevetia is drought-tolerant and susceptible to root rot. Common challenges include pests such as aphids and spider mites, which may require intervention. Seasonally, thevetia may need protection from cold in winter and may benefit from reduced watering in the fall to prepare for dormancy.
