Pentas is a vibrant, tropical perennial plant that requires basic care to thrive. It enjoys full to partial sun and thrives in warm, humid environments. Water it regularly but make sure the soil drains well to prevent root rot. A common challenge for this genus is pest infestation, including whiteflies and aphids, which can significantly impact plant health. Humidity and temperature regulation are crucial for pentas, particularly in the dry winter months. Seasonally, adjust watering in the heat of summer and reduce in the colder winter months, during which pentas may require more indoor care.
