# Anyone know why she's so green? When I got her she was green but not…

_Geplaatst door Bret op 2025-10-31_

Anyone know why she's so green? When I got her she was green but not this much. She had GORGEOUS deep purple under her leaves and tinting the top. Could it be not enough sunlight? It's getting to be winter where I live and she may need to go under a grow light?

The first picture is obviously now and the second is when I first got her. Can clearly see the color difference

Pretty much the same thing with mine. I was wondering too.

So weird, I moved mine under my grow light. Hopefully it's just a light issue? 🤷🏻 Cause mine, as well as yours, seem to be doing incredibly well growth wise.

Mine is in a pretty bright window. I may try moving it to a grow light area as well.

I think the amount of light affects variegation but I’m not a hundred percent sure!

Not the kind of plant I have but my Purple Spider Wort turns a deep purple when it gets adequate light otherwise it turns green. Also might be the time of year. I bought a grow light for my plants

I have one under a grow light and she has maintained her purple. It might be the lack of sunlight.
