Gynura aurantiaca is a stunning specimen that can introduce a royal appeal indoors with its deep color. If you wish to have one in your room, these purple passion plant care tips will help you keep it at the best of its health!
Most people think that because the plant is colorful, it needs more direct sunlight exposure to keep itself vivid. Well, that’s not the case with purple passion vine!
Its leaves are delicate, and have a velvety texture that can scorch easily in prolong sun exposure. The best bet is to keep in at an east facing location, where it can bask in the mild morning sunlight (3-4 hours), and remains protected from the harsh light at the later hours of the day—best of both worlds!
To keep the leaves soft and healthy, save them from water. Also, let the topsoil go a little dry between waterings—this will help you maintain the growing medium towards a slightly moist state, just as the plant likes it!
Also, daily watering the plant is a big NO!
Where ever you are keeping the plant, make sure that it is never exposed to the temperature below this level, as it can be fatal. The purple passion vine thrive in the range of 60°F to 85°F (16°C to 28°C).
Purple passion vines love humidity, and if you have dry air at home, well, this will make the matters worse for it. Keep its pot on a pebble tray filled with water all the time.
The best? Get a humidifier, and keep it near the plant and watch it thrive!
Prune dead, yellowing, and damaged leaves from time to time—it keeps the plant looking handsome. Also, make sure to clean the leaves with a soft cotton cloth periodically to remove dust, and enhance the plant’s color and shine.
The soft leaves of the purple passion plants are like a magnet for aphids and spider mites. Make sure
