Temperature

It flourishes optimally in hot climates in the summer that have sufficient rainfall or hydration. Extended phases of overcast and precipitating weather, coupled with extended high temperatures, can raise the odds of the Sword-leaf crepidiastrum perishing. During the winter, appropriate safeguards against the cold can boost the plant's chances of survival.
