Neolloydia, a cacti genus native to Mexico, presents a moderate care level for gardeners. These sun-loving plants need a well-drained soil, prefer a warm climate, and require infrequent watering. Common challenges include mealybugs and scale insects, susceptible to damp, cold conditions causing root rot. In summer, neolloydia needs protection from intense midday heat, while in winter, it requires a dry dormancy period. Spring and autumn are optimal growth periods. Careful monitoring and adaptation to these needs will result in successful cultivation of neolloydia.
