The 'tinospora' genus, includes tropical climbing shrubs famous for low-maintenance and hardy nature. These plants prefer bright, indirect light, medium-to-high humidity levels, and well-draining soil. Watering should be moderate, avoiding water-logged conditions. Temperature-wise, they thrive around 70-85°F (21-29°C). Common challenges involve pests such as mealybugs and diseases like root rot. Tinosporas have a growth spurt in summer and spring, requiring more care relative to the dormant seasons of autumn and winter.
