Care Guide
💧 Water
☀️ Light Full sun
Fagonia glutinosa is native to open habitats, like sunny meadows and forest margins, where abundant light is available. It performs best in full sun but can also withstand partial sun, adapting well to different light conditions.
Ideal: Full sun
🌡️ Temperature 20–37.8°C
Fagonia glutinosa 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 stable thermal environment, so avoiding temperature fluctuations indoors is important. It usually cannot withstand cold and requires higher temperatures to grow. If the surrounding temperature falls too low, the plant may stop growing or even perish.
Ideal temperature: 20–37.8°C
