Hemigraphis 'Exotica'
Hemigraphis 'Exotica' is an exotic plant species with purple and green variegated foliage. The leaves are thin and pointed, and are held in opposite pairs along the fragile stems. These soft stems can trail or climb, and become covered in tiny, star-like pale pink flowers that produce a pleasant fragrance. This evergreen perennial is hardy and thrives in moist, well-drained soil, tolerating some dry periods. In full sun, the foliage becomes a darker, deep purple, making 'Exotica' ideal for hanging baskets, window boxes or as a houseplant. Its vibrant foliage creates a striking contrast in gardens, and it's easy to care for and maintain.

sunlight
Hemigraphis 'Exotica' should be grown in medium to bright indirect light. Direct sun should be avoided to prevent leaf scorch. The plant prefers bright light for 6-8 hours a day, preferably 4-6 hours in the morning and 2-4 hours in the afternoon. During the winter months, the plant may need to be situated closer to a window to enjoy more indirect sunlight as the days become shorter. To encourage lush growth, the plant should be placed in the brightest spot available in an area with indirect light for most of the day.
pruning
Hemigraphis 'Exotica' should be pruned once or twice a year, generally in late winter or early spring. Pruning should be done lightly, removing no more than 1-third of the plant's growth in any given season. Leaving more than 1-third of the plant's growth in the pruning season could stress the plant and reduce its overall health. When pruning, it is important to make sure that only the dead or damaged foliage is removed to help maintain the overall health of the plant.
