ON THIS PLANT
A note from PlantMom
Doodia squarrosa is generally resistant to disease and attracts relatively few insect pests. Its care is regarded as difficult, since it needs a consistently moist environment and frequent watering. However, the roots can rot if the plant is overwatered or the air circulation is poor. Doodia squarrosa is best for people with some growing experience, because most growers can keep it alive for a certain amount of time. Still, the plant may struggle to thrive, and its leaves can dry out and deteriorate in health over time.
