Purple Passion Plant | Gynura aurantica (S)

The Gynura aurantica is also referred to as purple passion, purple velvet, or velvet plant. It’s stunningly unique in its deep green foliage covered in tiny purple hairs, giving it a purple glow. This tropical plant originates in Southeast Asia and Africa, and will produce flowers if the right conditions are met. Simply give your Gynura bright indirect light, moist soil, and lots of humidity! The more light, the brighter the foliage will become. Avoid getting the leaves wet while watering, and avoid misting altogether, as this will promote rot.
