Belonging to the Campanulaceae family, the genus star of Bethlehem , often called Star of Bethlehem, prefers locations with full to partial sun exposure. It thrives in humus-rich, well-drained soil, ideally with a neutral pH. Regular watering is essential, but the soil should not be left soggy as it may lead to root rot. Common pests for star of Bethlehem include aphids and spider mites, with overwatering and excessive shade often leading to wilted leaves. Seasonal considerations include decreased watering in winter, and leaf protection in excessively hot summer conditions.
