Eranthemum Variegated is a genus of plants in the family Acanthaceae. It is mainly known for its ornamental flowers and ornamental foliage. The plant prefers well-draining, light and fertile soil that should be slightly acidic (pH 6.0 to 6.5) and should be amended with organic matter or compost prior to planting. It propagates by stem cutting. Grows well in full sun and in shade. But the foliage is little dull in the shade. It needs moderate watering.
Here are some step-by-step instructions for taking care of Eranthemum Variegated: Light: Eranthemum Variegated needs bright but indirect light. Exposure to this level of light is needed for at least 4 to 6 hours per day. Too much direct sunlight will scorch the plant’s leaves. Not enough sun will result in its dull or plain foliage. Soil: The plant prefers well-draining, light and fertile soil that should be slightly acidic (pH 6.0 to 6.5) and should be amended with organic matter or compost prior to planting. Water: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Humidity: Humidity is important and should be no lower than 40%. Temperature: Temperatures should be kept between 60℉ and 85℉ (15℃ and 29℃). Fertilizer: Eranthemum Variegated requires rich, well-draining soil with a pH level between 5.0 and 7.5. Pests: Check your plant regularly for signs of infestation and treat with an insecticide if necessary.
