Temperature

Cyrtosperma johnstonii comes from tropical areas, where the climate is generally warm and humid. As a result, it is adapted to high temperatures and humidity. It does not tolerate sudden temperature changes and prefers a steady temperature environment, so avoiding temperature fluctuations indoors is important. It usually cannot endure cold and requires warmer conditions to grow. If the environmental temperature falls too low, the plant may stop growing or even die.
