Subfamily Acanthoideae

In this post I will share some pictures of a gandarusa flower in front of my house, this flower grows from one type of plant that is quite often cultivated in my area, usually this plant will be cultivated in very large quantities so that it can be used as a mini fence or shaped according to taste, generally this plant has elongated leaves with a dark green color, the impression of naturalness is really felt especially if we plant it right in front of the house.

The downside is that this plant is very susceptible to pests such as leaf pests and hairy caterpillars, if we have decided to cultivate this plant then we must be willing to work hard to care for it, this plant is very beautiful but different after it is infected with pests, one by one the leaves will be perforated and fall off leaving only the blackened stem of the plant. I really like this plant especially when it is flowering, the flowers are beautiful because they have several colors that look so striking among the bright green plants.
