Clerodendrum andamanense is a fast-growing shrub that can reach up to 6 m (20 ft) in height. It prefers full sun or partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. Propagation is usually done by cuttings or layering. Cuttings should be taken from semi-hardwood and rooted in a moist medium such as sand or peat moss.
