Malephora is a tough, drought-tolerant genus known for its hardiness and succulent nature, thriving in warm, arid environments. Malephora requires plenty of sunlight, minimal water, and well-draining soil to maintain health. Overwatering is a common challenge, along with potential succulent pests such as mealybugs. Seasonally, malephora benefits from reduced watering in winter and may require protection from extreme temperatures. Avoiding wet, cold conditions is crucial to prevent root rot and ensure year-round vigor.
