Gynura aurantiaca Purple Passion as known as the Velvet Plant is a real evergreen perennial houseplant that has vivid purple and emerald coloured furry velvet like leaves. This unusual trailing plant is air purifying and pet friendly. It matures quickly, growing from a small plant to a busy plant in no time at all.
The Purple Passion Vine loves being in bright yet indirect light, so a north or east-facing window is best, as this helps to keep its vibrancy. This tropical plant, which originates from Southeast Asia, looks great in a hanging planter or on a shelf, allowing its leaves to grow downwards.
Light Required The Purple Passion grows best in bright, indirect light, so a North or East-facing window is best. The brighter the light, the stronger the leaf colouring will be. This jungle-like plant can be displayed in a hanging planter or on a shelf allowing its leaves to trail downward.
Watering Water your plant when the top inch or so of the soil is dry, and take care not to let it completely dry out. Gynura can be prone to root rot, so allow the soil to dry out between waterings and ensure the plant is not left sitting in water. During the Winter months, cut back on how much water the plant receives.
Best Growing Conditions As Gynura thrive in a humid warm environment, it is a great plant to keep on bathroom window sills, since the steam from your shower or bath will keep the air moist. It needs an average temperature of between 16-25°C but can cope down to 10°C.
