Care

General Maintenance: It will be very happy in a hanging basket. As the plant ages, the hairs will spread further apart, and the colour will not be as intense. They will stay attractive for 2-3 years, and still remain an elegant plant after that.

Temperature: Purple passion houseplants prefer a cool location; optimum temperatures for the purple passion plant are 60 to 70 degrees F. (16-21 C.).

Light: Place the purple passion plant in bright to moderate light, but don't allow direct sunlight to reach the leaves. Brighter light intensifies the purple color of purple passion plant.

Watering: Keep the soil moist but avoid letting the roots stand in soggy soil. Avoid wetting the foliage, as the hairy leaves can trap moisture and begin to rot.

Soil: A well draining soil is best.

Fertilizer: Fertilize every two weeks from spring through fall. Fertilize monthly during the winter.
