ProRep Live plant. Purple Velvet Plant (Large)
Temperature: 65-75°F ( Celsius 18-24°C). It is important to avoid extreme temperature fluctuations to prevent stress on the plant.
Light: bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Direct sunlight should be avoided as it can scorch the leaves.
Water: Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry, but be careful not to overwater as this can lead to root rot. It is best to allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
Care/Maintenance: Prune back leggy growth to encourage bushier growth and pinch off any flower buds to promote foliage growth.

ProRep Live plant. Purple Velvet Plant (Large)
General Information: Gynura aurantiaca , also known as purple passion plant or velvet plant, is a unique houseplant with fuzzy purple leaves that add a pop of colour to any indoor space. It is native to Southeast Asia and thrives in warm, humid environments.
Apart from the aesthetic appeal of a planted terrarium there are some very real, tangible benefits for the animals. Living plants provide natural cover and climbing perches, shade, basking sites and maintain natural humidity. Just as live plants in an office can improve workers well-being, live plants in a terrarium will have the same effect for animals.
These plants are not just small houseplants but are a selected range of species that are ideally suited to the terrarium, including some of the more unusual or rare types. We have carefully selected the range so that there are plants to suit all habitats and growth patterns. There are succulents for arid environments, bromeliads, ground cover plants and epiphytes for jungle set up’s as well as aquatic plants and mosses.
These plants enhance your pet’s terrarium, creating a natural and attractive environment. See our bioactive set up kits.
Over 40 different plant species are available in the range including Purple Velvet Plant (Large). For advice on turning your pets tank bioactive, or anything else, please contact us.
