Gynura aurantiaca, or the purple velvet plant, is a fast-growing houseplant with distinctive velvety purple leaves, known for its trailing growth habit and small orange flowers that appear in the fall. Native to Southeast Asia, it requires bright, indirect light to maintain its color, moist but not waterlogged soil to prevent root rot, and regular pinching to control its leggy growth and encourage a bushier appearance.

Light: Bright, indirect light is essential for the plant's vibrant purple color.

Water: Keep the soil consistently moist, but never soggy.

Care Tips: Keep away from cold drafts.

Fertilizer: Fertilize every four weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
