Identifying and Troubleshooting Shrimp Plant Issues

Clarifying the Plant

The gardener described shrimp-like growths in the lawn, which may not be the ornamental shrimp plant (Justicia brandegeeana or Pachystachys lutea). The expert requested a photo for accurate identification.

Next Steps

Compare your plant to images of yellow shrimp plant (Pachystachys lutea) and orange shrimp plant (Justicia brandegeeana).
Provide a photo for precise diagnosis.
Once identified, specific care advice can be given.
