The betula , or Birch genus, abundantly found across both hemispheres, requires attention for thriving growth. Preferring full sunlight to partial shade locations, they require moist, well-drained soil with a preferred temperature range of 4-24 degrees Celsius. Common challenges include infestations from pests such as leaf miners, aphids, and Bronze Birch Borer, and diseases like Black Knot. Betula s are sensitive to dry conditions and pollution. Seasonal care includes regular watering in summer, mulching in winter for insulation, spring pruning, and autumn leaf monitoring.
