Ruellia makoyana requires bright, indirect light and should be kept in a location where it can receive several hours of light each day. It prefers moderate temperatures and high humidity. Water the plant regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely.Suelo

Feed Ruellia makoyana with a balanced liquid fertilizer, such as a 10-10-10 formula, every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.Trasplante
Repot the plant every 1-2 years or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one and refresh the soil mix. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.Propagación
Ruellia makoyana can be propagated through stem cuttings. Take cuttings from healthy, non-flowering stems in the spring or early summer. Remove the lower leaves and place the cuttings in water or moist soil until roots develop. Once rooted, transplant the cuttings into individual pots.Poda
