Pseuderanthemum : Special heat-loving nature

Pseuderanthemum is a striking ornamental plant, yet it needs special care. Because of this, new gardeners rarely grow it. This guide covers plant types, home care, propagation, and pests.

Pseudranthemum originated in the tropics and loves warmth. It is part of the Acanthaceae family. This family has over 100 species found in tropical areas.

Pseuderanthemum includes herbs, subshrubs, and shrubs. Plant height varies from 30 cm to 1.5 m based on the species.

These bushes bloom each year. Flowers grow in spikes and are often lilac, pink, or milky. They feature a red center. Petals have small spots of different colors.

The plant blooms a lot in nature. But at home, blooms are rare, even with good care.
