It can also withstand partial sunlight but extended periods of dampness and lack of light may hinder its growth. Overexposure or inadequate exposure to light could unfavorably affect its wellbeing, resulting in arrested development or drooping.
Temperature
Ilima thrives in climates with temperatures between 68 and 100 °F (20 to 38 ℃). This warm temperature range is most conducive to its growth. During cooler periods, it may be beneficial to ensure indoor warmth or maintain the warmth of a greenhouse.
Fertilizer
The optimum period to feed an ilima is during early spring when it transitions from dormancy to active growth. Giving fertilizer can supply essential nutrients that encourage robust growth. Even though the ilima doesn't require a great deal of fertilizer, providing it once a year can improve its longevity and stimulate the production of more durable flowers.
