Wandering Dude / Inch Plant

Tradescantia zebrina

Fast growing, stripy, and full of attitude, Tradescantia zebrina is a trailing classic that never goes out of style. With its metallic silver and deep purple striped leaves and rich violet undersides, this plant brings instant colour and movement to any shelf.

It grows quickly, trails beautifully, and is perfect for hanging pots or letting spill dramatically from a plant stand.

Low fuss. High impact.

✨ Why we love it:

🌿 Striking silver and purple striped foliage
🌿 Fast growing and easy to propagate
🌿 Perfect for shelves, hanging pots, and trailing displays
🌿 Brilliant for beginners

💡 Light: Loves bright, indirect light. The brighter the light (without harsh midday sun), the stronger the colour contrast.

💧 Water: Allow the top couple of centimetres of soil to dry before watering. Avoid letting it sit soggy.

🌱 Soil: Free draining houseplant compost works perfectly.

🌡️ Temperature: Thrives in normal indoor warmth. Keep away from cold draughts.

💦 Humidity: Appreciates moderate humidity but adapts well to most homes.

🐾 Pet/Child Safe? Mildly toxic if ingested and can irritate skin in some pets. Best kept out of reach of curious paws.

🌿 Top Tip: Pinch back leggy growth to keep it bushy and full. Bonus? Every cutting can be rooted in water for more plants.

Tradescantia zebrina is bold, trailing, and ridiculously easy to love. A colourful, fast growing favourite that brings instant jungle energy to your space. 🌿
