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.
