6 potted plants with leaves that change color, perfect for growing on a balcony

Succulents, thanks to ample light and the temperature difference between day and night, take on a whole-plant color that becomes incredibly enchanting, as if turning into psychedelic jelly. (As shown in the picture below)

And some colorful-leaf plants look better the colder the weather gets. Do you want to know which plants they are? Come take a look with me!

1. African False Hosta (Ledebouria socialis)

At first glance the leaves look like they have ugly spots, but they are very pleasing to look at; the leaves are very glossy, and there are large bulbs at the base of the stems.

What I like most are the leopard-print spots on its leaf surface. If the weather turns a bit colder, its leaves turn lemon yellow, which looks even better.

2. Ti plant (Cordyline fruticosa)

There are actually quite a lot of ti plant varieties. The dwarf varieties are very suitable for potted cultivation, grown on a balcony. If the temperature suddenly drops, plus a little cold rain, its green leaves will slowly turn red. Very wonderful - you only truly know how wonderful it is once you have grown a ti plant.

3. Joseph's coat (Amaranthus tricolor)

It is a relatively niche herbaceous foliage plant. Its leaves also change with temperature, and the color differs in each of the four seasons, including green, reddish-brown, peach pink and pale yellow. If the weather turns cold, its leaves will curl and turn bright red.

4. Rainbow peperomia (Peperomia tetragona)

It belongs to the same genus as the round-leaf peperomia (Peperomia obtusifolia). This peperomia has white markings on its leaves. Although it is very shade-tolerant, it only looks its best when grown in bright light.

Especially when the weather turns cold, the leaves will slowly turn peach pink, with the mottled red and yellow-green setting each other off.

5. Redbird cactus (Euphorbia tithymaloides)

This rather unusual foliage plant from the south is not often seen in the north. Normally its leaves and stems are milky white. It likes plenty of scattered light and requires good drainage.

Its stems and leaves are green in summer, and after the weather turns cold they slowly turn peach pink.

6. African violet (Saintpaulia)

If you have grown a mottled African violet, then you have surely experienced its charm. It only needs a slightly bright environment to bloom, and is one of the best indoor flowering plants.

After the weather turns cold, the green patterned leaves slowly turn white
