Several aspects of the pollination biology of Justicia candicans were studied in a population located in central Sonora, Mexico. The species flowered from January to April during the studied year (2003). Its flowers secreted up to 4 µL of nectar that had 41% sucrose. It is self-compatible and visited primarily by the resident hummingbird, Cynanthus latirostris, and occasionally by the common bee, Apis mellifera.
