Need help w/Purple Passion plant - Picture
Comments (23)Well I could easily be wrong but it DOES look like Gynura aurantiaca to me -- just an extremely light-starved one. In any event, Oakleyok, yes you can indeed put the plant outside for the summer. Most "houseplants", IME, seem to benefit from summering outdoors. As others have mentioned the most important thing is hardening them off -- exactly as you would do for veggies and other plants started indoors from seed. Of course, as one is hardening off the plants, you must keep in mind how much light is suitable for a particular plant. Plants that in nature grow under intense hot direct sun are never going to be happy even outside if all they get is heavy shade. And plants that are understory plants, are unlikely to adapt to recieving intense hot sun. Gynura aurantiacas(Purple Passion plants) form their purple hairs in response to what the plant determines is high light levels. The hairs protect the leaves from getting burned (in essence, the plant is providing itself with its own shade). In very low light conditions, not only will the purple coloring be lost, but so will most to all of the hairs as well. It has been a lot of years since I last had one (gave mine away to make room for an orchid) but as I recall, once hardened off properly they will do well with a great deal of direct sun....See MoreWall color suggestions to go w/black/cream toile?
Comments (11)My son has the same wallpaper in his dining room. The rest of the front of the house, except the kitchen, is painted a very pale creamish yellow.

It's absolutely stunning to look at!...See MoreHelp identify please! vine w green ball clusters w purple tips
Comments (6)Hi again! Beautiful picture! :) TY! I'm using my phone to do this. I just tried to post a pic straight by taking the picture and it just goes back to the main page. Whenever I try to either take a pic or upload, I get the 4 options to use camera, camcorder, voice recorder or documents. My pics r in the documents and I've tried to just post from the camera, but it goes straight back to the main question pg, like I haven't done anything,!! I'm wondering if I need to download something else? It's not letting me to the chrome extension,! I'll report now. Sooo, the vines are ALL OVER, but now the bottom little "clusters", kind of like a giant blackberry & the bottom round parts, are turning black one by one! The tops r still green w purple tip. Doesn't smell like anything I know! My twitter handle is @DrBrittGalb & I've posted pics on there for help!! & IG, drbrittgalandlunablupom (drbrittandlunablu) Im new to it, so I'm not sure which name, lol. Thank u SOO MUCH for ur help,! They are taking over everything now so I REALLY need to figure out if I should move them or not! Can't get to other blooming plants! Ttys!
