Water: Pseuderanthemum prefers consistently moist soil, indicating a need for balanced moisture. Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing the soil to partially dry. Higher humidity is beneficial, so occasional misting supports healthy growth and lush foliage.

Propagation: Pseuderanthemum propagation primarily uses stem cuttings or seeds. Essential factors include warm temperatures (18-24°C), high humidity, and well-draining, fertile soil. Steps for successful cuttings involve preparing a stem segment, using rooting hormone, planting in moist soil, and providing bright, indirect light while maintaining moisture.
