Costus requires a high humidity environment and consistent warmth to thrive, emulating its natural tropical habitat. Special care should be taken to maintain moist, well-draining soil without letting it become waterlogged, as this can be detrimental to the plant's root system. Furthermore, costus demands bright, indirect light but must be protected from the harsh direct afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorch.
