Isodon is appreciated for ornamental and herbal uses, flourishing in conditions that mimic their native habitats. Basic care entails providing bright, indirect light and well-draining, fertile soil with a steady supply of moisture, while ensuring good air circulation to prevent disease. Common challenges include susceptibility to root rot, fungal diseases, and pests like aphids. Seasonal considerations involve reduced watering in winter and protecting against frost, while promoting growth with appropriate watering and fertilizing in the growing seasons of spring and summer.
