Collection: Tradescantia Plants

Easy Indoor Gardening with Tradescantia

Tradescantia, often called inch plant or wandering dude, brings quick colour to any room. Its leaves show stripes of purple, green, silver, or pink. These bold lines stand out even in dull light. The plant remains small, making it suitable for desks, shelves, and flats. With soft stems that trail and spill, Tradescantia makes living areas look lively without effort. Tradescantia grows well in normal home light and warm air. Trim long stems to keep shape. 

Tradescantia gives back in many ways. It lifts air moisture, cuts dust, and softens echo in hard rooms. Droopy leaves mean it wants a drink. Faded colour means it needs more light. These clear signs make it easy to grow for first-time plant owners.

Place a pot near a window, on a bookcase, or let vines hang from a high shelf. Tradescantia’s soft leaves lift any indoor space with simple care.

With our selection of Tradescantia Plants, experience the delight of simple indoor gardening. These plants liven up any area with a pop of colour. Tradescantia Plants thrive indoors with easy care. Each plant features striking, colorful leaves that brighten rooms and moods alike. Ideal for beginners and those who appreciate beauty with ease.

Frequently Asked Questions

They are incredibly easy to propagate! Simply take stem cuttings (ensure each cutting has a few nodes – the points where leaves attach). You can root these cuttings easily in a glass of water or by planting them directly into moist potting soil.

During the growing season (spring and summer), you can feed your Tradescantia with a balanced houseplant fertilizer diluted to half-strength every 2-4 weeks. Reduce or stop fertilizing during fall and winter.

When it comes to choosing the perfect Tradescantia for your space, shoppers often go for these top favorites:

Tradescantia zebrina :  cascading stems lined with purple-silver striped leaves, stays compact, flourishes in bright, indirect light, and asks only for weekly watering.

Tradescantia spathacea : sometimes called Moses-in-the-Cradle, forms upright rosettes of green tops with magenta undersides, ideal for desks; tolerates moderate light and drier soil.

Tradescantia ‘Bubblegum’ :  a trailing cultivar coloured pink, cream, and mint, perfect for shelves; appreciates filtered light and quick trims to keep foliage dense.

All three root easily, grow fast, and rank consistently among our highest-selling indoor plants within our Tradescantia collection at My GreenScape.

Your indoor plant will likely survive without pruning, but it maintains a much fuller, bushier, and more attractive shape with regular pinching or cutting back of the stems. For more care tips, you can find a helpful Tradescantia Care Guide to keep your plant healthy.
