Species of the genus anoda are used as border plants by gardeners who prize their tall, erect habit, providing contrast to a garden. They are native to the tropical and subtropical Americas. Where introduced, some species are considered an environmental weed. Anoda have cup-shaped blooms that can be seen from the summer to the first frost.
Water:
Anoda thrives in consistently moist soil, requiring weekly watering without becoming waterlogged. It is not drought-tolerant and prefers balanced moisture levels for optimal growth and flowering. Its growth cycles are influenced directly by water availability, supporting its herbaceous nature when cultivated outdoors.
Propagation:
Propagation of anoda is primarily through seed sowing, requiring adequate sunlight, warm temperatures (21-24°C), and well-draining soil. Success involves avoiding overwatering. Key steps include collecting seeds, sowing in a light mix, maintaining temperature, ensuring indirect light, and transplanting established seedlings.
