Wow! Such a beautiful, elegant plant! We absolutely love the full shape and wonderful foliage of the Tradescantia Fluminensis!

 

Tradescantia Fluminensis is a species of spiderwort native to South America, also known as the wandering Dude becuse it grows rapidly and will urban wild any space. The small leaves have a shiny appearance, the underside of a leaf is purple in colour and new leaves appear purple at first, then turn green.

 

It looks beautiful in a hanging basket or container they grow and hang over the sides

 

It’s a classic 70s houseplant making a huge comeback - for good reason, its stunning easy-care nature makes it hard not to love! 

 

The Tradescantia Fluminensis has smaller, more delicate leaves than the Tradescantia albiflo

 

If you decide to give this interesting houseplant as a gift, we can include a free, handwritten card - just specify your message at the basket stage of delivery and we’ll do the rest!  We won’t give the game away with paperwork or prices either so it’ll be a wonderful surprise!
