Tradescantia purple heart

Tradescantia ‘Purple Heart’ is here to steal the show with its vivid violet leaves and trailing stems that just don’t quit. Whether you grow it as a hanging plant or let it sprawl across a sunny windowsill, this one adds instant drama. Fast-growing, easy to propagate, and practically glowing, it’s a must for anyone who loves bold colour and low-effort beauty.

Plant Care
Light:
Loves bright, indirect to direct light. The more sun it gets, the deeper the purple — just ease it into direct sun slowly to prevent scorch.

Watering:
Let the top half of the soil dry out between waterings. It’s drought-tolerant but appreciates a good drink when dry.

Temperature:
Thrives in 18–28°C. Keep it above 10°C and bring indoors if you're growing it outside in summer.

Potting:
Our A Sandy Loam mix is perfect — well-draining and just moist enough to keep it happy without any sogginess.

Hot tips:
Pinch back the tips to encourage bushier growth. Super easy to propagate in water or soil — snip, stick, grow. Foliage may fade in low light, so keep it near a sunny spot for that punchy purple.

Pet Friendly: No
