Hailing from the Cucurbitaceae family, thladiantha are perennial climbing plants best suited to areas with ample sunlight but can tolerate partial shade. They prefer moist, well-drained soil maintained at cooler temperatures. Common care challenges include pests such as aphids and spider mites, as well as diseases like powdery mildew. Seasonally, thladiantha plants require sheltering from intense summer heat, while in winter, they enter dormancy. Spring serves as the prime growth period, needing meticulous attention to watering and support structures.
