Feel free to add any of the dozens of lower back exercise you'll find if you google "bodyweight exercises lower back" to your regimen rather than take some guy's word for it.

Even the pushup uses lower back muscles, like any plank.

Without progressive overload the maximum strength of the muscle is very limited. Doing a bunch of pushups or planks will improve your ability to do that exercise, but you can't do pushups for a year and expect to squat 300 pounds-- the muscle growth just isn't there.
