Malcolmia requires full sun exposure for vigorous growth, with well-draining, loamy soil being ideal. Watering should be moderate, allowing soil to dry between sessions, and consistent warmth is favored. Malcolmia can face challenges like aphids and fungal diseases, often due to overwatering or high humidity. In spring, malcolmia thrives and may need more frequent watering. Summer care involves ensuring soil doesn’t dry out completely, while in autumn, reducing water as growth slows is key. In winter, malcolmia's water needs diminish as the plant enters dormancy.
