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.

Great squeaker balls - dogs favorite but not for aggressive chewers.
We have a chocolate Labrador retriever and a golden retriever who love balls. Tennis balls don’t last. We’ve been very happy with the ChuckIt quality. We especially love the bucket of orange balls those last until we lose them. We’ve tried to other products from ChuckIt and they’ve always been excellent. Squeaker toys are a special favorite in our home. However most don’t last because our dogs are moderately aggressive chewers. They haven’t destroyed these… yet. HOWEVER, we have a ball-obsessed, very aggressive chewer grand dog Sadie (“Ball Is Life”) who visits frequently. She goes nuts over anything that squeaks. She’s not satisfied until all squeakers are dead. And she destroy this ball in about 2 minutes. It’s fine when she supervised and we’re playing fetch. But when left on her own, she’ll find these balls and destroy them. We had 6 and in 2 days were down to four. I will still give it 5 stars because nothing is indestructible. And Sadie is an exceptionally aggressive chewer. On durability, these are above average maybe 7/10. But be warned, aggressive chewers will destroy them.

Durable except squeaker only works for a few minutes
My pups loves these balls mostly for the squeaker. Company dose not glue the squeaker in place inside of the ball so after a few chews from pup the squeaker pops out n bounces around the inside of the ball. Than after awhile the end pops out n that's a good thing for me due to I'm able to glue the squeaker back in place then glue end back also. Now the squeaker works again. Easy fix yet company should have done this before my pups played with them. Scary, what if my pups chew the ball n by chance chocks on the squeaker? I now take the ball apart when they 1st arrive n glue the squeaker n end in place the day before they play with them. Company should just glue the squeaker in place before they sell them to keep our pups safe from chance of chocking.

My dog’s all-time favorite toy!!
My boxer mix LOVES LOVES LOVES the Chuck it ball! It is seriously his favorite toy. I think he likes how much give it has when he chomps on it, kind of like a dog stress ball. It does squeak when chewed but the squeak typically goes away in about a week likely due to saliva getting inside the ball. It bounces really well, my dog loves to catch it mid-bounce. Nice smooth rubber, easy to clean. It is very durable, we’ve never had one that broke. We usually only have to buy more when they go missing. The size is similar to a tennis ball. I’ve also noticed there is a difference between the mostly blue chuck it ball and the mostly orange one. The orange one is harder than the blue. My dog can tell the difference and only likes these blue ones.
