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.

Good for my set up
Color: Black, Size: 15FT (Rotating Plug)
I have been using this to redo my office setup so that I have less cords going everywhere and this was the longest one that I could find with a bunch of grounded ports. I mounted it in a cable organizer under my desk and so far is going great. The cord length is perfect for what I needed because unfortunately where my desk is positioned in my office the nearest outlet is a ways away behind another piece of furniture. It was super easy to install because there's really no installation You just plug it in and you can rotate the cord in the socket so that it helps keep the direction easy for access to wherever you need to have it run to. It seems like it's durable I've had it probably 3 weeks now and the power has been turned off numerous times because of the enhanced safety features and so far none of my stuff has been damaged so I am thankful for that. I think it works well and I haven't had to use any of the USB ports or the c ports but I like that they are there so that as I add more stuff to my setup I have a place that I can easily plug them in.

Very nice power strip
Color: Black, Size: 5FT (Flat Plug)
It’s very nice that it has outlets facing different directions on the one side than the other. This allowed me to plug in a variety of different items including a smart plug.

Just what I was looking for
Color: White, Size: 10FT (Rotating Plug), Color: White, Size: 10FT (Rotating Plug)
Great solution for hiding all the cords coming from our tv above the fireplace in our apartment. Visible/untidy cords drive me insane and this worked perfectly to tidy everything up. It was much easier to run a single cord from the outlet to the tv along the fireplace and then hide everything behind the tv than it would have been to hide multiple cords with that plastic cord hiding stuff to the outlet/surge protector. This was super easy to install and makes everything so much nicer to look at while still having the surge protection for our devices. I also love that the cord rotates so it’s easily used no matter how your outlets or room is oriented.

Is a mountable power strip
Color: Black, Size: 10FT (Flat Plug), Color: Black, Size: 10FT (Flat Plug)
The power strip itself seems to work great as intended. It has been mounted under an adjustable/standing desk for over a year. My only complaint would be that the screws that came with them for mounting are very cheap. They came apart on me while screwing them in by hand, with pre-drilled holes. The screw heads came right off the screw shaft and part of it stuck in the desk. I had to slightly move the power strip and re-mount with different screws. Not a big problem as I had other screws, but kind of annoying. It has been powering everything on my desk just fine.
