Velvet Vine

This plant is a Purple Passion Plant (Gynura aurantiaca). 

• Fuzzy stems and leaves with vibrant purple hairs.

• Green leaves with deep purple undersides and a velvety texture.

• Upright growth but can trail as it matures, making it great for hanging baskets.

• Produces orange-yellow flowers, though many growers pinch them off because of their strong odor.

Care Tips:

• Light: Bright, indirect light to maintain its vivid purple color. Too little light will make it look more green.

• Water: Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch to dry between waterings.

• Humidity: Loves higher humidity but adapts well to average household levels.

• Pruning: Pinch back stems to encourage bushier growth and prevent legginess.

• Temperature: Prefers 60–75°F, keep away from drafts.

This one is a real statement plant with its velvety purple fuzz!
