Justicia brandegeeana 'Variegata' is known as the variegated shrimp plant. The showy flowers are actually modified leaves called bracts; the true flowers are white and appear for a relatively short period of time. A member of the Acanthaceae family, this species has long been a favorite of tropical conservatories and subtropical gardens. It roots easily from vegetative cuttings dipped in a rooting hormone and held in a high-moisture environment featuring excellent soil drainage and moderate air movement. Over time, the plants tend to get leggy as they grow in height and lose their lower leaves. This issue can be overcome by periodically pruning the plant back to at least two internodes (joints where new stems can arise from).

얼룩덜i룩한 새우 플랜트로 알려져 있습니다. 꽃으로 보이는 것은 사실 포엽인 잎입니다. 진짜 꽃은 하얀색이고 아주 잠깐 핍니다. 쥐꼬리망초과의 식물로 열대나 아열대 온실에 인기가 많습니다. 수i분이 많은 토양에서 쉽게 자라지만, 어느정도 자라면 아래쪽 잎이 떨어지고 하는데, 두마디 정도 가지치기를 해주면 다시 잘 자랍니다.
