Wandering Jew — Tradescantia zebrina (Small - 4 inch pot)

Purple, silver-striped, and growing faster than you'll find a place to put it. Tradescantia zebrina trails in shimmering bands of purple and silvery-green, and it does not slow down to ask if you're ready for more plant.

Every cutting roots almost on principle. If you've ever wanted a plant that rewards neglect with more of itself, this is the one.

Care: Bright, indirect light brings out the deepest color — too little light and the purple fades toward plain green. Water when the top inch of soil dries out. Forgiving of missed waterings, less forgiving of sitting wet.

In a terrarium or vivarium build: Excellent trailing accent over the edge of a pot or enclosure wall — fast enough to fill in a build in weeks, not months.

What you get: One Tradescantia zebrina in a 4-inch pot.
