Crownbeard, a plant genus in the Asteraceae family, favors a subtropical to tropical environment. Basic care involves exposure to full or partial sunlight, consistent watering without waterlogging, and well-drained, fertile soil. Common challenges encircle fungi-induced leaf spots and rusts, along with pest invasions especially from aphids. Sudden temperature drops may result in plant stress. Seasonally, they exhibit prolific growth during warmer months, demanding careful monitoring. In colder seasons, indoor cultivation or use of a frost cover is recommended.
