My brand new little party animal, what I’ve learned is a bloodleaf “party time” or party time alternanthera. Any tips on this plant?! Sure is fun to look at! 💅

      Thank you!! It’s now to me, too! Saw it today at a local plant shop and it took me a minute to get the ID right. I’m curious to learn more as I go!

    I just got one of these recently and just ordered another one. I’m still trying to get to know it, so far, I know it does not like direct sun or to dry out.

      Great tips! Thank you!! I have it 4ft ish from a window for now -and indirectly under a grow light- so we shall see if I’ve overdone it! Sounds like maybe 😅 Also, love your username

    One more thing I’ve learned, it can get leggy if you don’t prune it regularly.

      Thank you!! I’ll be on the lookout for that and will put my brave pruning face on!

      Ugh!!! I feel you! I hate pruning, it hurts my heart! 😫 but it’s so beneficial to so many plants

    I’ve had one for a few months now. Wasn’t doing well. Dropped almost all its leaves. It’s been in leca for over a month and is now doing well.

      Oooo good to know! Thank you! I haven’t planted with leca yet but have heard it can make all the difference for fussy plants

      Definitely will be looking this one up! I found it interesting when people said the pink nerves were dramatic but no one was kidding 😝 they really become apart of us somehow 😂
