Juanulloa Mexican is a light-loving plant and prefers places with abundant sunshine. Nevertheless, at high temperatures, it is advisable to rearrange the plant or create partial shade for it, in order to avoid the appearance of burns on the leaves. The most optimal temperature regime for a plant is + 22-24 ° С in summer, and not less than + 8-11 ° С in winter.

The time of active growth of Juanulloa Mexican falls in late spring - early autumn. During this period, it is necessary to monitor the regularity of watering so that the land is always slightly damp. In winter, the amount and frequency of watering should be reduced and the plant should only be watered as needed. To create the most comfortable conditions for plant growth, it is necessary to constantly spray it. Since at low humidity there is a high probability of yellowing and falling off not only of leaves, but also of flower buds. For spraying, it is advisable to use boiled or softened water, and bottled drinking water at room temperature is also suitable.

In addition, experienced flower growers advise placing a pot with a plant in a stand with wet expanded clay or pebbles. This will allow the plant to absorb moisture as needed.
