Introducing the stunning Tradescantia Pallida 'Purpurea' – a dramatic trailing houseplant with deep purple foliage that adds instant colour and contrast to any room. Sometimes called the Purple Heart Plant, it's a bold choice for shelves, hanging baskets, or trailing over containers.

Native to northeastern Mexico, this low-maintenance plant is a favourite for beginners and seasoned collectors alike. Its vibrant foliage and fast-growing habit make it a brilliant addition to modern and maximalist interiors alike.

This variety features slender, pointed leaves in a rich purple hue, with new leaves emerging an even deeper shade. The undersides of the leaves glow with a metallic sheen, and the stems can cascade elegantly over time, giving it fantastic movement and texture.

Your plant arrives in a plastic nursery pot approx. W12cm and is ready to thrive in your home or make a thoughtful, long-lasting gift. If you’re gifting, we can include a free handwritten card — just leave your message at checkout, and we’ll handle the rest, discreetly and beautifully packaged.

Native habitat and growth pattern
In the wild, Tradescantia Pallida grows in warm, dry subtropical regions, often as ground cover or in rocky outcrops. Indoors, it enjoys similar conditions — bright light, warmth, and well-draining soil. It can be easily propagated from cuttings, and with the right care, it quickly forms a trailing mat of vibrant foliage.

Styling tips

  • Perfect for hanging baskets, macramé holders or high shelves

  • Adds contrast to neutral interiors or green plant collections

  • Works well in minimalist rooms needing a pop of colour

  • Ideal as a trailing feature in a sunny windowsill

Tradescantia Pallida 'Purpurea' care guide

Light requirements:
Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate a few hours of direct sun. The more light it gets, the more vivid the purple foliage becomes.

Watering:
Water when the top few inches of soil feel dry. Soak through, then let it drain completely — never leave it sitting in water.

Feeding:
Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced fertiliser. We recommend our Original Vegan Plant Food, formulated from seaweed and natural nutrients.

Humidity:
Tolerates average indoor humidity well, though appreciates occasional misting in dry homes.

Pet safety:
Tradescantia is considered mildly toxic to pets if ingested. It’s best kept out of reach of curious cats and dogs.

Propagation:
Simple to propagate via stem cuttings — root them in water or straight into soil. A great choice for sharing with friends or growing a fuller pot.

Why choose this plant?

  • Stunning purple foliage and trailing habit

  • Very easy to grow and propagate

  • A bold alternative to green houseplants

  • Perfect for gifting or adding texture to your indoor garden

  • Fast-growing and ideal for styling

FAQs

Will the purple colour fade indoors?
Only if it's in low light. Place it somewhere bright and the colour will stay vibrant.

Can I prune it?
Yes — snip leggy stems to encourage bushier growth. You can replant the cuttings!

How fast does it grow?
Very fast in the right conditions. Expect lots of new growth in spring and summer.

Bad Magnets
Color: 1a Peva Clear Premium, Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1)
It fits, it does what it's supposed to, to keep water in, but the magnets at the bottom to keep it in place do not work at all. Maybe not all of them are like that, but mine was, all 3 of the magnets do nothing. It does have metal rings at the top which is appreciated, my last one just had slits in it and it was terrible. So that's a quality plus.

Sturdy, Waterproof, and Easy to Clean
Color: 1a Peva Clear Premium, Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1), Color: 1a Peva Clear Premium, Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using the BigFoot Clear Shower Curtain Liner for a few weeks now, and I'm happy with my purchase. The material feels much more premium than the typical flimsy liners. It’s made from PEVA, so there’s no strong plastic smell right out of the package. It’s thick enough to hang nicely without clinging to you during a shower, but still flexible and easy to handle. The built-in magnets at the bottom add some weight to keep the liner in place against the tub, which helps prevent water from escaping onto the floor. I also appreciate that it’s truly waterproof and dries quickly. Water beads up and runs right off, so it doesn’t get that grimy, damp feeling. It's like Rain-X on your liner. Since it's machine washable, it's easy to keep clean and extend its lifespan instead of having to replace it over and over, which adds to its value. The grommets feel sturdy and hold up well with regular use, even when opening and closing the curtain daily. And they're rustproof so they will retain their color over time. If you’re looking for a reliable, odor-free shower liner that actually stays in place and holds up over time, this is a solid choice.

Most comfortable pillows for my back
Color: Navy, Size: 26x26 Inch
I have a really bad back along with sciatica so I use these pillows on my recliner chair, one for my back and one under my bottom. They make all the difference in the world. They are soft and squishy yet still offer support. They are a great value for sure. This blue color was about half the price of other colors with was fine with me because I put washable covers on them anyway. I frequently fall asleep on them. My dog loves when they accidentally fall on the floor because he curls up on them and falls asleep. He finds them very comfortable. I can't say enough good about these. They would be great on a bed or couch too or even as a floor cushion. They are high quality, well made pillows.
