Party timeās no longer partying. I brought Orwell to Florida with me for 6 months where he lived in a screened in porch. My other plants thrived but he was not a fan, did not really grow, leaves died and grew back very small. I brought him up north for the summer indoors, but our neighbors had cut their tree down outside my window changing the light Iām getting in my southeast window. I had him on the windowsill and all his tiny leaves shriveled up and died. A lot of my plants didnāt seem to like the new light except for the cacti. Heās now a leafless pink stick and I moved him a few feet away from the window and next to the wall where he only gets direct light for a few hours instead of all day. What can I do to help him out? Will he regrow leaves? He was my favorite plant.

Whatās going on with my PT Sheās just not making any progress. Itās not in direct light, but receives plenty of indirect light and I only water when the top soil goes dry #PartyTimeAlternanthera #PropagationStation

And after the party itās the hotel lobby . . . Lolaās saga continues. Send help pls. So my party time started by losing a few leaves, then I tried to prop her. The prop in water has zero leaves but seems to be growing roots anyway (am I crazy?). This new one had some rotted roots. I put in a new pot based on advice but maybe went too big. Also, all of my plants were getting white mold in the holes. When I rinsed with hydrogen peroxide and water and left out to dry a little, she wilted. So I put her in this glass of water. Now Iām not sure what to do with her. Sheās a little leggy. She grew leaves like crazy when I cut her to get the prop. Should I try to plant the top and cut again? Or is it not stable enough right now? Is it bad to keep her in water?

WHAT IS THIS PLANT?!? So I got these two beauties at my local store and when we did research, they said it was a calico plant however that is not in the Greg database and I really do not think it is a party time plant either. ļæ¼ if some of you super cool people could help me identify what they are That would be amazing personally, I donāt really care because I think theyāre beautiful anyway, but it is good to know when it comes to care their names are Callie and Marie (bonus points if you know where thatās from) And honestly, I think they are one of my āfavesā #PlantID #whatisthisplant #HappyPlants #PartyTimeAlternanthera #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

Sooo after losing the leaves from my propagation attempt with my precious pink party time plant, the parent plant is loving having been cut. Last pic is before I chopped off the top. #NewGrowth #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants #PlantAddict #GregGang

After the party, itās the after party Cut off top of my single party time baby plant and have it in water. It looks like itās growing a little crew cut of roots right now. Should I cut the top of that propagation and do another propagation or is that crazy? Iām obsessed with these hot pink leaves, and I want moreeee. There are two or three sets of leaves on the propagation. They are close together though. #PartyTimeAlternanthera #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PropagationStation

This plant is very delicate, specially when you water it. I like to water it from the bottom and give as much balance with sunlight and shade. Very Lovely plant.

Iāve heard many complaints about this plant but I stuck it in the corner of a kitchen window, practically neglect it and sheās super happy. Sheās a no-fuss plant and absolutely beautiful.
