The genus nutmeg yews, popular for its robust nature, requires a consistent routine for its care. Its basic needs include moderate sunlight, regular watering, and sheltered positions with temperatures ranging between 50°F - 80°F. Loamy soils with good water-retention and slight acidity offer ideal growth conditions. Challenges involve pests like mealybugs, and needle blight disease. Seasonally, nutmeg yews requires lesser watering during winter, and regular dead branch pruning throughout the year. Periodic fertilization during growing season is key to consistent foliage.
