Hemigraphis alternata
The Purple Waffle Plant, scientifically known as Hemigraphis alternata (the smarty-pants name), creates a carpet of purple waves with its heavily textured leaves. We love to use this plant in planters to anchor taller single-stemmed houseplants. The Purple Waffle Plant can also be grown outdoors in tropical regions in dappled shade to create a moody blanket of color under trees and in front of shrubs. When grown indoors, Hemigraphis alternata loves above-average humidity levels, bright indirect light, and consistently moist soil. Keep the temperature above 65°F as these tender plants will be damaged by cold air.
