How cool is that - I love it?! A shocking reaction from me, I'm sure... You must have made quite the plant-ish impression on this person.

Thank you purple. You probally love this plant so much because it is purple.Does anyone want to share there purple plants on here?

TG:

Nice find, good for you.

FYI: it'll need a lot of light to stay that purple, otherwise it will become more & more green. This plant was everywhere when I was in college, couldn't turn around w/out bumping into pots of it.

Also, If I recall correctly (aka IIRC), it can use frequent pinching to keep it full & lush.

Ooops, sorry, PS:

I should have said when it's much bigger, it'll benefit from pinching back.

Gynura aurantiaca

I love your PP, mine has been so slow to grow, I hope yours grows faster than mine has, here's my purples that are in desperate need of H2O, so that will now be my job for the afternoon

my shamrock, poor baby, look at that dry soil. SHAME on me!!!

one more, my begonia which also is in dire need of water
Great post of seeing purples teen :>)

Thanks for the compliments and tips everyone. And christine, I also tend to mbe a neglectful waterer

I have always loved the look of the Purple Passion Plant! The color is just beautiful. I finally purchased one last summer, bought it in a 1" pot for a $1.50 from the local grocery store. Within a few months it was a giant. I kept it in an east facing window so it got morning sun. Unfortunately, it started blooming.....now the blooms were a beautiful yellow, but they smelled like a skunk. I couldn't keep up with it blooming all the time and trying to pinch the buds before they opened. I ended up having to toss it....how can such a beautiful plant smell so horrible?!

So I hope you have better luck with it than I did :)
