# I have my nanouk and zebrina potted together. The nanouk is staying…

_Posted by Candy on 2025-06-05_

I have my nanouk and zebrina potted together. The nanouk is staying perfectly pink, but the zebrina is loosing its purple. It was bright purple till the last week or two. It’s under a grow light, 12 hours. Is that too much light? I thought more light, the brighter color for these?

They turn green when they want more light. Zebrinas LOVE light, especially when they grow big leaves.

Im not so sure about the idea of a nanouk and a zebrina together, personally. Zebrinas are great beginner plants because theyre practically fry-proof and love water, nanouk not so much.

weirdly though the nanouk is doing better than the zebrina, so maybe i dont know what im talking about 😂😂
