Schismus is a genus adapted to thrive in particularly tolerant conditions. Basic care involves ensuring full to partial sunlight exposure, maintaining moderately warm temperatures, and using well-draining sandy soils. Schismus typically requires minimal water but may need more frequent watering in hotter, drier climates. Common challenges include susceptibility to root rot with overwatering and potential infestation of pests like aphids. Seasonally, schismus may demand adjusted watering practices—less in winter, more during active growth in spring and summer. Autumn care is generally standard, but frosts can be harmful; thus, protection may be necessary.
