The spiny chloracantha genus, generally characterized by its resilience and ease of care, requires basic maintenance including moderate sunlight, regular watering, mild temperatures, and well-drained soil. Common challenges include susceptibility to pests like aphids and whiteflies, diseases such as leaf blight, and environmental sensitivities related to overwatering or poor sunlight exposure. Seasonal care involves shielding from harsh summer sunlight, managing water in monsoons, fall pruning, and winter protection to prevent temperature-related damage.
