For Sutera cordata, vigor is defined as an expert assessment of the rate of container volume filling, branching intensity, and internode length. This indicator is relative and allows for the classification of varieties from moderate to vigorous, the latter possessing long shoots and the ability to occupy space rapidly.

High vigor of a variety requires the use of growth regulators or regular pinching to prevent the suppression of other plants in mixed containers. A decrease in shoot development intensity in this crop also serves as a health indicator, signaling pest infestation or stem and leaf diseases.
