Purple Passion Plant

A striking plant deserves a striking name. The Gynura Auranti is also known as the Purple Passion or the Velvet Plant. This plant boasts beautiful leaves – its luxurious purple foliage instantly transforms any room into a dynamic, artistic oasis!

The Gynura Auranti gets its moniker from its distinctively fuzzy purple leaves. The purple hues stand out, and there are subtle green margins to complement them. Its gracefully trailing stems lend a natural, artistic charm ideal for boho, modern, or minimalist interiors. Consider showcasing it on shelves, office desks, bedroom dressers, or even kitchen countertops. The Gynura Auranti’s colours make it so that it can blend in with the other plants in your garden or stand out. It’s all in where you place them.

This plant can be grown as a houseplant or a trailing plant. In the latter case, its vines can extend or grow up to 1 to 1.5 metres. The Gynura Auranti also has a moderate growth, and it will benefit from regular trimming. Train it along a low support or allow it to drape from a hanging basket. A medium-sized pot with ample drainage is ideal for supporting its thriving, spreading roots and balanced development.

Gynura Auranti thrives in bright, indirect light that accentuates its vivid purple colour. While it can tolerate lower lighting conditions, that may reflect in the dimming of its leaves, but that’s not to say it won’t be a happy camper regardless. You are welcome to put it on window sills or balconies, but do make sure no direct sunlight gets to it. Imagine your balcony rails with this lovely plant trailing on them? Lovely!

Gynura Auranti plants prefer evenly moist and well-draining soil. Check the topsoil. If it’s too dry, a little watering might be necessary. Though don’t overwater, that could lead to root rot. This plant needs a watchful eye at first but, once you both find your rhythm, watering should be a breeze. The Gynura Auranti also likes to eat, so feed it some liquid fertiliser to make sure it grows.

If you have curious pets and grabby toddlers, best keep this plant out of their reach. This plant can be toxic when ingested.

The Gynura Auranti is a wonderful plant that, like many others, improves the air quality in your home. It’s a rewarding plant to grow, giving you that feeling of having done a good day’s work. That's because going through the motions of tending to your indoor garden may help reduce stress and keep your mind focused on what truly matters. The shades of purple may also give your spirits a lift on gloomy days or rainy days when you’re just stuck at home.
