Tradescantia zebrina
One of our most popular plants...for good reason!
If you are looking to add a pop of colour to your plant collection the deep purple and green combination with shimmering pale green accents should have you covered! What’s not to like about this little cutie? The inch plant is fast growing, so it’s a great plant for beginners (it gives you feedback so you can change the care). To keep it looking in great condition give the plant a trim from time to time. Older leaves will brown and crisp up - simply cut or pinch off dry stalks to encourage a bushier plant.
Please note that stems of this plant break easily and some may get damaged in transport. This should not cause concern as they grow back very quickly.
This plant will fit any of our pots in a Size 4.
