Care
Ruselia equisetiformis
Light: Ruselia or “Firecracker plants” thrive in bright indirect or bright filtered light. Placement near an east or west window is ideal. Avoid intense direct sun rays which may overly stress the plant.
Water: Semi-frequent watering is ideal. Once well established, Ruselia are happy to endure a bit more dryness. Water well when the top quarter of the soil feels dry to the touch..
Environment: Average home temperatures are suitable for this plant. Average humidity is also suitable, but be sure to avoid very arid environments such as near air vents.
Toxicity: Reported to be non-toxic but should not be considered edible.
Of Note:
Arching stems are stunning when grown in a hanging basket.
*When planting in a pot without a drainage hole, avoid over watering by estimating 25% of the container’s overall volume, with appropriate drainage materials incorporated when planting.
