🤷INDOOR🤷Buddleja Madagascariensis (Orange Buddleia) Indoor Plant Care

07:09 The name of this plant is now correctly spelled Buddleja, but it is still generally known as Buddleia. It is a showy evergreen pot plant for a large, bright sunny room or a border plant for a greenhouse. Vigorous, with an upright habit, it can easily reach 6-10ft/1.8-3m or more in height.
It has 5-in/13-cm-long lance-shaped dark green leaves whose undersides are covered with a downy white felt. The small, bright yellow-orange flowers are borne in slender, pyramid-shaped clusters between late fall and spring. Unlike other buddleias, which have fruits like dry capsules, the flowers are followed by fleshy, berrylike purple-blue fruits.
