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.

Gentle, Effective Cleanser That Leaves Skin Feeling Clean Without Drying
Size: 13.52 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 13.52 Fl Oz (Bottle)
I’ve been using the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Facial Cleanser for a bit now, and it’s been a really solid addition to my routine. The cleanser has a light, foaming texture that spreads easily and does a great job removing dirt and oil without being harsh. It leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed, but not tight or overly dry, which is something I’ve struggled with using other face washes. I also appreciate that it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin. There’s no strong fragrance, and it hasn’t caused any irritation or breakouts. It feels like a good balance between being effective and still mild enough for daily use. The bottle is simple and easy to use, and a little goes a long way, so it should last a while.

Gentle, Effective Cleanser With Great Value Refills
Size: 13.52 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 13.52 Fl Oz (Refill)
Very reliable cleanser with clean formula and refill option. Fragrance-free, and doesn't irritate my skin. Excellent for daily use. The refill bag is a bit hard to navigate though, kind of floppy to pour from, and the cap broke of for me the first time.

Good Option for Sensitive Skin.
Size: 13.52 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 13.52 Fl Oz (Bottle), Size: 13.52 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 13.52 Fl Oz (Bottle)
I've been using this foaming facial cleanser for a few months and overall, I've had a good experience with it so far. I usually use it at night, and I start by removing my makeup with micellar water, then use this cleanser in the shower, followed by moisturizer. One thing I will say is that even though my skin tends to lean oily, this cleanser does leave a bit of a tight, slightly dry feeling on my skin after washing. I wouldn't really describe it as super moisturizing, but it's not a dealbreaker for me since I always follow up with moisturizer and it fixes that feeling right away. It also hasn't caused any irritation or breakouts for me, which is a big plus since I do have sensitive skin. It definitely feels non-greasy and very lightweight. The texture comes out as a gel, but it foams up really easily once you start using it. I also don't notice much fragrance in it, which makes it a good option for sensitive skin overall. Overall, I'd say it's a good product to try out. Just be aware that it can feel a little drying afterward!

Good quality product and value for the money
Size: 13.52 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 13.52 Fl Oz (Bottle)
I girl loves this product so much that I always buy one before the one been used runs out. Aside from all the vitamins and minerals included in this formula, one can tell how good the product is by just using for a short period of time. It has never irritated my skin nor my girl’s. The texture is perfect “ not to runny/ not to lose. The container is mostly a value pack, so it is not very portable, but at the end I prefect a big size to make up my value for the money. I recommend the product and will continue buying it.

Skin feels so clean
Size: 13.52 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 13.52 Fl Oz (Bottle)
This cleanser is awesome for oily skin. Little to no scent and face feels soooo clean after. Very convenient pump and love buying in this larger size. If you have dry/combo skin, this can be a little too drying. Luckily, LRP has a version of this for dry skin that's incredible, too!
