Purple – why?


One of many Titanopsis primosii I grew from seed has, over the past few weeks, turned an alarming shade of purple.

It isn't notably sickly and has had the occasional watering. It's sharing this pot with another (green) individual, not pictured. Apparently the green to the left is another plant (thought it was a head originally).

Any idea what's triggered this? Something to be concerned about? The only other red one I had died as a seedling and was probably red due to stress.

    Could just be a nice phenotypic variation. Since it’s otherwise healthy in appearance, just keep an eye on it and be happy that it has some genes to maybe exploit sometime down the road.
