Hi Pug,

I think this is a reaction to the stronger light it has gotten since you've moved it outside. Mine (which hangs in a west window & half of which gets direct light) gets this reaction in summer on half its leaves (the half that gets direct light), but on mine, the new growth is purple, not pink. It's consistent, seems to do no harm to the plant & for me, it's just how mine seems to grow in peak summer.

I'd try to give the plant a bit more shade, but otherwise I don't think it's a problem. It looks very happy & healthy & you say it's blooming, right? I though I saw a couple of buds. I'd cut back on the fertilizer; when it's all done blooming hold back on water for abt a month, the plant takes a bit of a rest.

Thanks Pirate girl,

I'm glad its not anything bad. Like I said I like the pink leaves, I think its really pretty. Purple leaves would be really pretty too.

Yes, there's only 2 or 3 buds right now. When I bought it over 3 months ago, it was full of buds. But 80% of it fell off, which I fully expected to happen. I will keep an eye on it and put in less light when our weather really starts to heat up. Appreciate it!

Hi puglver1
all mine get the pink leaves at this time of year and I don't worry too much about it, seem they do this as the sun get stronger, in the next few weeks I'll move mine to the shade house and they will stay there until late spring

Thanks for the info, gardenbear1. Glad to know it wasn't a negative thing. Extra sun and being outside in the cooler nights, as the reason, that's good to know. Like I said I like the pink leaves, it's funny I have another one I've had for over a year. That one is in the same exact location and gets the same temps, but the new growths are light green. Go figure??

It's very attractive!

My CC's a little pink on the sun side, too.
