Belonging to the Apocynaceae family, the ochrosia genus is renowned for its low maintenance needs and tropical ambiance. Basic Care Needs involve sunny to partially shaded conditions, well-drained nutrient-rich soil, and regular watering to avoid drying out—the plant thrives in warm temperatures around 25°C. Common Challenges often include pests like spider mites and diseases including leaf spot and wilt. Seasonal Considerations vary, but in colder climates, if potted, move the plant indoors during the harsh winter months, and in summer, ensure regular watering to manage heat stress. Careful yearly pruning in late winter is advised to maintain shape.
