The genus pterodiscus comprises succulent plants requiring a balance of light, warmth, and well-draining soil to thrive. Basic care involves ensuring bright indirect light, moderate watering with dry spells, and protection from extreme temperatures. Common challenges include overwatering, which leads to root rot, and susceptibility to pests like aphids. Seasonally, pterodiscus benefits from reduced watering in winter and more frequent watering in summer, with care adjustments for temperature fluctuations and light intensity.
