Temperature
Yellow tuft can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, but its distribution may still be constrained by particular combinations of moisture and heat. It performs best in warm summer conditions with sufficient rainfall or watering. Extended periods of cloudy, rainy weather, or prolonged high temperatures, can raise the chance of Yellow tuft dying.
