add a pot to fit this plant
Gynura aurantiaca 'Purple Passion', also known as the Purple Velvet Plant, is a striking houseplant prized for its deep green leaves covered in soft, vibrant purple hairs. Its unusual velvety foliage catches the light beautifully, making it a colourful addition to shelves, desks and smaller spaces.
Light: Bright, indirect light to maintain the rich purple colouring.
Water: Water when the top layer of compost feels dry, avoiding prolonged soggy conditions.
Care: Pinch out growing tips occasionally to encourage a fuller, bushier plant. Avoid misting the foliage.
Nursery Pot Size: 7cm
Height: Approx. 8cm
