Cyclanthus bipartitus

Oreja de burro occurs naturally in habitats like forest understories or rocky sites, where it is subject to natural shade. It prefers partial sun but can adjust to full sun or complete shade, reflecting its versatility and hardiness.

Oreja de burro comes from tropical areas, where the climate is usually warm and humid. Consequently, it is well suited to high temperatures and moisture. It does not tolerate sudden temperature changes and prefers a steady temperature, so avoiding indoor temperature fluctuations is important. It normally cannot endure cold conditions and needs higher temperatures to grow. If the ambient temperature falls too low, the plant may stop growing or even die.

Adequate fertilization is essential for the health and appearance of Oreja de burro. Fertilize Oreja de burro during the summer, repeating applications monthly throughout the season. Nutrients support growth and help maintain the plant's parts. Fertilizing Oreja de burro improves its flower display, ensuring the best blooms.
