add a pot to fit this plant
Gynura aurantiaca ‘Variegata’, also known as the Variegated Purple Velvet Plant, is a rare and highly decorative houseplant prized for its velvety foliage. Soft green leaves are irregularly marked with creamy variegation and overlaid with fine purple hairs, creating a rich, tactile finish that feels both playful and design-led.
Compact in size but full of character, this unusual plant is ideal for shelves, side tables or grouped displays where its colour and texture can be appreciated up close. The variegation makes each plant unique, adding to its collectable appeal.
Light: Bright, indirect light helps maintain strong colour and variegation.
Water: Keep the compost lightly moist, allowing the top layer to dry slightly between waterings.
Care: Avoid misting the leaves as moisture can mark the velvety surface. Pinch back growing tips to encourage a fuller, more compact shape.
Nursery pot size: 7cm
Approximate height: 10cm
