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.
