| Soil Requirement | Ruellia needs rich, well-draining and moist soil. So, opt for a soil that is rich in compost or manure and does not hold water. One recommended soil mix is Soil + Sand/perlite with upto 30% of organic compost. |
| Environment | Mexican petunias thrive in warm hot and humid climates, but are also frost resistant, super hardy and bounce back after winter passes away. If you live in a hot, dry, desert, arid or tropical climate, place the Ruellia in a location that receives shade from the afternoon sun. |
| Watering | Water frequently when it’s young. Once established, it becomes drought tolerant. Ruellias like regular watering, but are also drought tolerant once established. Water your Ruellia plant when the top 1-2 inches of the soil starts to dry. |
