4" Tradescantia Purple Heart

Tradescantia ‘Purple Heart’ (Tradescantia pallida)
The Tradescantia Purple Heart is a vibrant, fast-growing plant prized for its deep purple stems and foliage that add instant drama to any space. Its bold color intensifies in bright light, and it occasionally produces delicate pink or violet flowers that contrast beautifully against the rich leaves. Perfect for hanging baskets, containers, or as a trailing accent, it’s a statement plant that’s both hardy and easy to grow.

Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light brings out the strongest purple tones; tolerates some direct sun
💧 Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry; don’t let it sit in soggy soil
🌫 Humidity: Adapts well to normal household humidity; grows even faster with a bit more moisture
❄️ Temperature: Prefers warm conditions (65–85°F); protect from frost
🐾 Pet Friendly: No (toxic if ingested by pets)

Fun Fact: The more sunlight your Purple Heart gets, the deeper and more vibrant its color becomes. In lower light, it turns greener—so it’s easy to “color-tune” your plant based on its placement! 💜🌿
