Brief

The Wandering Jew Plant (Tradescantia zebrina), also known as Inch Plant or Purple Heart, is a strikingly beautiful trailing plant known for its vibrant purple, green, and silver-striped foliage. This fast-growing plant is perfect for hanging baskets, ground cover, or decorative pots, adding a touch of elegance to any indoor or outdoor space. Its cascading vines make it an excellent choice for vertical gardening.

Care Instructions:

1. Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight for vibrant foliage colors. Can tolerate some shade, but too little light may cause fading.

2. Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist but not soggy. Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Reduce watering in winter.

3. Soil: Well-draining potting mix with peat moss or perlite for aeration.

4. Temperature & Humidity: Thrives in 60-80°F (16-27°C). Prefers moderate to high humidity—mist occasionally if the air is dry.

5. Pruning: Trim leggy stems regularly to promote bushier growth and remove dead leaves.

6. Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring & summer).

7. Repotting & Propagation: Repot every 1-2 years or when roots outgrow the pot.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings in water or soil.

8. Pest Control: Generally pest-resistant but may attract spider mites or aphids. Use neem oil or insecticidal soap if needed.

The Wandering Jew Plant is a colorful, fast-growing, and easy-care plant that adds beauty, freshness, and vibrancy to any home or garden!
