Blainvillea is a sun-loving genus that requires well-drained, fertile soil and operates under warm climatic conditions. In terms of basic care, they require full sun exposure, moderate watering with allowance for soil to dry between, and a neutral to acidic soil pH. Common challenges include susceptibility to pests such as aphids and diseases like powdery mildew. Seasonally, blainvillea tends to thrive during warmer months. In colder climates, the plant may require mulching, greenhouse planting or indoor cultivation to endure the winter months.
