Purple Passion Gynura Aurantiaca

Once a firm favourite during the 1970s houseplant craze, the Purple Passion Gynura Aurantiaca is making a well-deserved comeback. Its rich hues and soft texture make it an irresistible choice for plant lovers seeking something out of the ordinary. Whether you let it trail gracefully from a hanging basket or prune it for an upright shape, this plant will bring a dramatic flair to your home décor.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Unusual Texture & Colour: Covered in fine, velvety purple fuzz that feels as good as it looks.

• Trailing Growth: Ideal for shelves, hanging planters, or pots that let it cascade.

• Easy to Care For: Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates lower light conditions too.

• Compact Size: Grows up to 30–45 cm (12–18 inches), perfect for smaller spaces.

• Pet-Friendly: Safe for homes with curious cats or playful pups.

Plant Info & Care Guide:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight to maintain its vibrant purple hue. Can tolerate slightly dimmer areas.

• Water: Let the top inch of soil dry out between waterings. Avoid getting the leaves wet to prevent rot.

• Humidity: Average indoor humidity is fine; occasional misting is optional.

• Feeding: Use a balanced houseplant fertiliser monthly during spring and summer.

• Repotting: After 2–3 weeks of settling in, repot using our Highland Moss Houseplant Mix for excellent drainage and nutrient support.

• Growth Habit: Trailing or upright depending on pruning. Trim leggy growth to encourage bushiness.

This purple velvet houseplant is perfect for adding colour, charm, and a retro vibe to your living room, bedroom, or office. With the right care, it will reward you with lush, trailing foliage that remains vibrant all year round.
