if you are growing trees in pots.. you can do a lot better with a potting media that holds less water ... less peat.. higher draining .... but i suspect you just stuck it in that little pot until you IDd it... ken

Ruellia ( Mexican Petunia )...Does it have purple or pink flowers that are very thin and delicate and tubular in shape? Can you see small nodules near the nodes or sections of the stem? If so then you def have a Ruellia. which by the way you can share or propagate by cutting at the stem nodes and sticking in dirt. :) Cheers
