Zygophyllum is a genus adapted to arid climates, typically thriving in full sun with well-drained soil. Basic care demands minimal water, reflecting its drought-resistant nature. However, gardeners must grapple with overwatering risks, potential salt buildup, and sometimes invasive growth habits. Seasonally, zygophyllum requires less water in winter with temperature regulation to avoid frost damage. During active growth periods in spring and summer, vigilance against pests such as spider mites may be necessary. Autumn is a transitional care phase, preparing zygophyllum for winter dormancy.
