Purple Waffle Plant - Hemigraphis Alternata

Size: Single Plant | 2.5" Pot Included

Here are some tips for caring for a Purple Waffle Plant (Hemigraphis Alternata):

Light

Place the plant in bright, indirect light, as direct sun can cause it to lose its rich purple color.

Water

Keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy. The soil should feel like a wrung-out sponge. Water should flow freely from the pot's drainage holes.

Soil

Use a well-draining potting mix with ample drainage holes. You can mix three parts all-purpose potting soil with two parts coarse sand or grit and one part perlite.

Temperature

Maintain stable temperatures.

Pruning

When pruning, make a 45-degree angle cut just above a leaf node or bud. Avoid leaving stubs, as they can attract pests and rot.

Repotting

If the plant's leaves are drooping, even with proper care, you can try repotting it in a well-draining mix.
