Let's avoid exposing apartment plants to direct sunlight, which could damage the leaves, especially during the hottest months of the year. We should prefer a bright position, but with filtered light. For a balanced development of the the Justicia brandegeana it is advisable to locate it in a place where it is exposed to at least a few hours of direct sunlight.The Justicia brandegeana is grown at home or in a warmed green house; during the Spring it can be moved outside, but only if the mimimum temperatures are clearly mild.
Feed Justicia brandegeana
In the spring let’s use a fertilizer every 15-20 days, melting it in the water which we use to irrigate; we can choose a fertilizer for flowering plants or green plants, rich with nitrogen and potassium to favour a balanced development of the new vegetation. Otherwise we can, if we want to, use a slow release fertilizer, to add to the soil, every 3-4 months.
Care Justicia brandegeana
Growing they develop a round-shape shrub. The Justicia brandegeana develops like a shrub. This plant in the summer assumes a yellowgreen colouring; it is small in size and can reach 80 cm high. It keeps its leaves in the winter.
Irrigation Justicia brandegeana
Let’s water these plants only when the substratum is clearly dry using 2-3 glasses of water ; during this period of the year we should intervene every 1-2 weeks , or even less if the weather is rainy. To avoid that a scarce drainage could favour the development of fungal diseases, let's remember to avoid leaving water in the saucer.
Adversity Justicia brandegeana
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden.
Substrate Justicia brandegeana
These apartment plants favour very well drained soils.
