Additional facts about the beautiful Partytime plant include:

• Name variations: While commonly known as Partytimes, these glorious plants go by other names, including Joseph's coat, bloodleaf, parrot leaf, copperleaf, joyweed and calico plant. These names refer to their stunning leaf colors that contrast with surrounding plants. 
• Typical uses: The Alternanthera Partytime plant is a seasonal bloomer best kept as a houseplant. Place it in your living area or sunroom in partial sunlight, and it will enhance the ambience and please the eye with its aesthetic appeal. Its beautiful, bright magenta and green leaves elevate the mood when you enter the room! Partytime plants are wonderful additions to any home. This plant is preferably grown indoors, but it is also sometimes used for ground cover or as an edger.
• Care tips: Like most plants, your Partytime plant is susceptible to being eaten by aphids and other insects, although these are less likely to be found indoors. It is non-flowering, requiring extra attention to keep the leaves in optimal condition. Avoid placing your Alternanthera in direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves and cause unsightly, patchy discoloration. Instead, position it near a window — it can absorb sunlight without too much direct exposure. It has a habit of growing along edges, so it might snake across your window sill before you know it! Shearing your plant or pinching the stems will keep it bushy and compressed.
• Soil: Your plant prefers well-drained, organic soil rich in nutrients. Assess the soil's dryness by feeling it with your finger, pressing down about 2 to 3 inches. Based on the moisture or lack thereof, determine how much water to add. Weather conditions will impact how often you water your Alternanthera Partytime plant. In cooler seasons, water it once a week. When the temperature rises to scorching levels, water it at least twice or thrice a week.
