Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid waterlogging. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during warmer months.

Reduce watering in winter when the plant's growth slows down.

Prune Ruellia ciliatiflora to maintain a desired shape and encourage bushier growth. Deadhead spent flowers to promote continuous blooming.

Light pruning can be done anytime, while heavier pruning should occur in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Propagate easily from stem cuttings. Take 10-15 cm cuttings from healthy stems, remove lower leaves, and dip in rooting hormone. Plant in moist potting mix and keep in a warm, humid environment until roots develop.

Can also be grown from seed.

Repot annually or every two years, preferably in spring, when the plant becomes root-bound or outgrows its current container.

Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the previous one and use a well-draining potting mix. Ensure good drainage holes.
