Propogation:
Members of this family are best propagated from seed. The hard outer cover of the fruit should be
removed to expose the seeds within.

[/vc_column][/vc_row]An annotated checklist of the coastal forests of Kenya, East Africa by Phytokeys (May 2020) lists 7 genera
and 13 species.
The species that I am growing is:
Propogation
Clean off the outer flesh and sow the seeds immediately. The seed is recalcitrant and loses viability in a
matter of days. Seed generally germinates in about 10 days, but this could take up to 60 days, depending on
the heat, water, and light. If seed ripens near the end of the growing season, ensure that the young plants
are kept warm during the first winter, particularly if you live in a frost zone. Prevent too much moistness, as
this will certainly cause the roots to rot.

An annotated checklist of the coastal forests of Kenya, East Africa by Phytokeys (May 2020) lists 4 genera
and 5 species. The species that I am growing are:
Family: Acanthaceae
Low perennial herb with mauve flowers. This may to be suitable as a lawn alternative.
Most members of Acanthaceae grow very easily from cuttings. Growth occurs from tip cuttings taken when the plants are growing actively. Rooting takes place within ten to fourteen days if the bed is bottom-heated and there is mist to keep the shoots cool.
