Help! My Cat Ate My Husband’s Purple Passion Plant!

My husband has gotten into growing purple passion plants. The fuzzy green and purple leaves are stunning. Last night we forgot to put the plant up on the china cabinet to keep it away from the cats. Unfortunately, the cat ate all the leaves. Is there any way that we can save this plant? Or is it a lost cause?

Just care for it as usual. It will sprout new growth. You will want to take this new growth and start a new plant, after, to keep the vigor. They will lose this after a few seasons indoors, and starting a new cutting will help stop this.

Here are some articles that will help:
