☀️ Light Full sun
Mediterranean aegilops comes from bright, open habitats and does best in full sun. It can tolerate partial shade but favors direct sunlight for optimal growth. This plant, which may be annual or biennial, is known for its preference for sun.
🌡️ Temperature 15–35°C
Mediterranean aegilops can tolerate a wide range of temperature conditions, but its distribution may still be restricted by various combinations of moisture and heat. It does best in warm summer climates when there is sufficient rainfall or irrigation. Extended periods of cloudy, rainy weather or prolonged high temperatures can increase the chance of Mediterranean aegilops dying. In winter, shielding the plant from cold can raise its survival rate.
