Help!  
My Purple Pearl looks a lot darker than when I got it. This is my first plant I was wondering if I should do anything different or it’s just part of it’s growth. I repotted about a month ago and water it once a week. (Left is when I got it, Right was taken a day ago)

pretty sure this is normal! i have a purple graptovia and she’s usually a deep purple but she turns lighter some days

Okay! Thank you!

It needs more light to be a deeper purple. I also recommend not watering once a week. That’s too often.

I agree

I would recommend only watering when the soil is 100% dried out. I have my perls inside under grow lights and only water once every 3-4 weeks. Hope this helps and happy growing!
