My purple passion looks more green than purple, and some leaves are pruning up. I’m not sure what’s up with it. I repotted about a month ago to a smaller pot because the pot was way too big. It was very healthy a year ago, I’m thinking old age lol

This variety is typically a deep purple color. It needs bright light and regular fertilizer to maintain the deep color. Move closer to filtered sunlight or add a grow light.

It looks slightly under watered based on the curling leaves and a some dried bits. The soil will shrink from the pot if it gets too dry. 🪴🍀
