Here’s a detailed  Ruellia devosiana 🌿 care guide:

🌤️ Light

  • Thrives in bright, indirect light.

  • A few hours of soft morning sun can enhance leaf color and flowering.

  • Avoid harsh afternoon sunlight, which can scorch the velvety leaves.

  • In low light, leaf color fades and flowering reduces.

🌡️ Temperature

  • Ideal range: 20–30°C.

  • Keep away from air conditioners, heaters, or cold drafts.

  • Never expose below 15°C, as it is sensitive to cold.

💧 Watering

  • Keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy.

  • Water when the top 2 cm of soil feels slightly dry.

  • Reduce watering in winter, allowing the surface to dry a bit more between waterings.

  • Always ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

🌫️ Humidity

  • Prefers moderate to high humidity (50–70%).

  • Mist lightly around (not on) the plant or use a humidifier or pebble tray.

  • Dry air can cause brown tips or curling leaves.

🌱 Soil

  • Grows best in loose, fertile, and well-draining soil.
    Recommended mix:

    • 40% coco peat or peat moss

    • 30% perlite or coarse sand

    • 20% compost or leaf mold

    • 10% garden soil or vermiculite

  • Slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0) is ideal.

🍽️ Fertilizer

  • Feed once every 3–4 weeks during the growing season (spring to autumn).

  • Use a balanced liquid fertilizer (10-10-10 or 20-20-20) at half strength.

  • Stop fertilizing in winter when growth slows.

🌿 Growth Habit

  • A low-growing, spreading plant (15–25 cm tall).

  • Excellent for terrariums, tabletops, hanging baskets, or shaded garden borders.

  • Produces charming lavender-purple flowers periodically throughout the year under good light.

🌸 Propagation

  • Propagate easily by stem cuttings:

    • Take a 5–8 cm cutting with 2–3 leaves.

    • Root in moist soil or water.

    • Once roots form, transplant to pot.

  • Can also self-propagate from creeping stems touching the soil.

⚠️ Common Problems

Problem Cause Solution
Droopy or yellow leaves Overwatering Let soil dry slightly and improve drainage
Pale leaves Low light or nutrient deficiency Move to brighter spot and fertilize lightly
Brown leaf edges Low humidity or dry air Increase humidity
Weak, leggy stems Insufficient light Provide more bright indirect light

🌼 Extra Tips

  • Prune lightly to maintain a compact, bushy shape.

  • Pinch tips regularly to encourage branching and fuller growth.

  • Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust and maintain the velvety sheen.

  • Repot annually in fresh mix for vigorous growth.
