The hoarypeas genus, consisting of perennial plants and shrubs, is fairly low-maintenance. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Watering should be moderate, as hoarypeas exhibits drought tolerance. A warm temperature range is preferred, typically between 60 and 80°F. Common challenges include leaf spot disease and pest attacks, particularly from aphids and whiteflies. Over-watering can lead to root rot. Seasonally, hoarypeas may require additional watering during dry summer periods, and decreased watering during inactive winter growth phases.
