Tylecodon encompasses succulent plants that thrive with minimal care, simulating their natural arid habitats. The basic care needs involve bright light exposure, well-draining sandy soil, and infrequent watering to avoid root rot. Constant airflow and mild temperatures favor tylecodon growth. Common challenges include overwatering, which leads to fungal diseases, and pest infestations such as mealybugs and spider mites. Seasonally, tylecodon enters dormancy in summer, requiring reduced watering, while active growth in cooler months necessitates a slightly increased hydration schedule.
