Malope thrive in a well-lit environment with abundant sunlight and will flourish in warm, temperate climates. They require moist, well-drained soil with regular watering, but overwatering should be avoided to prevent root rot. In terms of common challenges, malope may be susceptible to certain pests such as aphids, and diseases like powdery mildew. Seasonally, malope demand more water in the growing seasons of spring and summer, with reduced needs in fall. They may not survive through harsh winters and can be treated as annuals in cold climates.
