Pro Tips
If it gets enough light, it may form tiny pink or white flowers that give way to colorful fruits. Ardesia are often grown as garden annuals for this reason- but they can enjoy a longer life when grown indoors. Ardesia have a pronounced wilt when in need of water, and this can be a good indicator as long as it's not taken too far.

It is one of the 50 Fundamental herbs in Chinese medicine, and used for a large number of ailments, including treatment of bronchitis.
