Purple Passion Plant
Purple Passion Plant
The Purple Passion Plant (Gynura aurantiaca) is a dramatic foliage plant known for its soft, velvety leaves coated in vibrant purple hairs. Under bright indirect light, the purple coloration intensifies, creating a striking contrast against the deep green leaf surface.
This fast-growing plant is ideal for terrariums, vivariums, hanging planters, and indoor collections. Its trailing habit makes it especially useful as a mid-ground or accent plant in bioactive enclosures, where higher humidity enhances both color and texture.
Easy to grow and visually unique, the Purple Passion Plant is a favorite among collectors and terrarium builders alike.
