Description

Purple Velvet Plant (Gynura aurantiaca).

Hailing from the dense tropics of Java and Indonesia, the Purple Velvet Plant (Gynura aurantiaca) has captivated the Western world with its rare beauty, striking colour, and effortless maintenance.

The Purple Velvet Plant (Gynura aurantiaca) thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain its stunning colour. For optimal growth, it requires well-draining soil and should only be watered when the top inch of soil is dry to the touch.

The Purple Velvet Plant (Gynura aurantiaca) is a subshrub that can reach up to 6.56 feet in height in tropical climates. However, when grown indoors, it typically remains smaller at 7.87 to 11.81 inches tall. In addition to its ability to grow upright, this plant also produces long, climbing shoots, making it a suitable choice for hanging planters.
