Mitraria is an epiphytic plant genus, preferring humid, partially shaded environments akin to its native forest habitats. It thrives in well-draining, fertile soil, kept consistently moist without waterlogging. Mitraria requires protection from extreme temperatures, favoring a mild, stable climate. Common challenges include susceptibility to root rot and infestation by scale insects or spider mites. Seasonal care adjustments involve ensuring adequate humidity and indirect sunlight, less frequent watering in winter, and protection from direct summer sun and winter frosts.
