Care information

For the DIY types! You will receive a similarly sized cutting. These are fairly easy to root if you follow these instructions:

Begin with a small environment, not a huge prop bin, as you'll maximize humidity this way. Damp sphagnum inside of a clear plastic cup with cling wrap ontop is a surefire simple way to succeed. I use rooting hormone for mine. Once rooted, you can acclimate elsewhere. A very humid terrarium setup can also work well.

Here it is, the plant which very well might be my favorite terrarium tropical. Fuzzy, velvety, and... purple! What's not to love?

The coloration on this plant varies greatly depending on what temperature light you shine on it, which is part of why you may see so much variation in color among vendors. The slightly-pink growlights will absolutely make these light up.

This is a climbing species, and will meander up terrarium backgrounds with ease.

Plant Details
Airflow
High — Requires constant active ventilation. These plants are extremely sensitive to high humidity unless accompanied by significant, steady air movement to mimic their native breezy habitats.
Family
Solanaceae
Growth strategy
Terrestrial
Humidity
40–60%
Lighting
Direct — High-energy plants that require full sun exposure or very close proximity to professional-grade grow lights to prevent legginess and maintain structural integrity.
PH
6.5–7.5 — Neutral: Suitable for hardy species that are less sensitive to water chemistry. This range is common in setups using tap water or inert substrates like clay pebbles and stones.

Size

Temperature
65–75°F — Ideal for "Cool-Growers" or highland species. These plants prefer the lower end of the tropical spectrum and may show signs of stress or heat-dropping leaves if temperatures consistently exceed 80°F.
Watering substrate
Damp — These plants love high moisture levels; the substrate should stay wet to the touch at all times but should not be sitting in a stagnant, waterlogged state.
World
New World — Native to the Western Hemisphere: North, Central, and South America plus the Caribbean
