History of Gynura aurantiaca (velvet plant)
The Gynura aurantiaca, also known as the velvet plant , comes from Southeast Asia and is a popular houseplantthanks to its striking, purple-haired leaves. The fine hairs on the leaves give it a velvety look that shimmers depending on the light. In the wild it grows as a fast-trailing plant in tropical regions, but indoors it is usually kept as a compact hanging or climbing plant.
Care as a houseplant:
- Light: Bright spot with indirect light; direct sunlight intensifies the purple colouring.
- Temperature: Ideally 18–26 °C; do not keep below 15 °C.
- Humidity: Medium to high (40–60 %); mist occasionally.
- Substrate: Loose, free-draining substrate; a mix of potting soil, sand and perlite is recommended.
- Watering: Keep evenly moist but avoid waterlogging; the top layer of soil should dry out slightly between waterings.
- Feeding: Every 2–4 weeks with a weak liquid fertiliser during the growing season (spring to autumn).
- Special features: Regular pinching out encourages bushy growth. Surroundings that are too dark can cause the purple colour to fade.
Care as a terrarium plant:
- Humidity: Medium to high (50–80 %), ideal for open or semi-open terrariums.
- Location: Do not place too close to the terrarium walls, to allow sufficient air circulation.
- Water requirements: Adjusted to the moisture level in the terrarium – avoid waterlogging.
Overwintering tips:
In winter, water less, as the plant then grows more slowly. Do not let temperatures drop below 15 °C. Gynura aurantiaca is a fascinating houseplantthat enhances any living space with its unique colour and velvety texture.
