Hi guys, it's been a few weeks...but I found yet another plant that I need help with identifying so I can find out how to take care of it....here are some pics....the one with the dark purple leaves (not the purple passion that is on it's left hehe) is the one I can't find a name for, and the ivy is something I've had for a while but can't seem to find out what kind of ivy it is, like what it's specific name is, because the tag it came with just says "Ivy" any help is greatly appreciated :) Mars
Cotinus. If those are cuttings you took don't be surprised if nothing comes from them. Search "cotinus propagation" to find out what is done.
Re: the plant in the orange pot you call the purple passion. I tried to google it under your name for it and got nothing but passion vines. There are actually two kinds of this plant a member of the daisy family. GYNEURA aurantiaca, Velvet Plant - colors less bright, leaves are less crunchy and indented. Looks alot like the weed Dead Nettle. GYNEURA sarmentosa, Java Velvet Plant - yours. Color much more vibrant and leaves more coarsly toothed. Don't let it bloom tho, they look like a whimpy dandylion and smell bad. Keep it pinched back to promote fuller growth. I treat mine just like my coleus. barb
I was told it was a purple passion plant on this site, at This thread here I was told the Id was a "Gynura aurantiaca" commonly called a purple passion plant, which I've been calling it ever since. It's become my baby, I've cloned it a few times and those are sprouting up very nicely, thanks for all your help guys, with this and the other 2 plants. :) Mars
