Tradescantia fluminensis 'variegata'

Tradescantia fluminensis 'Variegata', also known as Variegated Wandering Jew or Inch Plant, is a trailing, fast-growing perennial known for its attractive green, white, and cream-striped foliage. The lance-shaped leaves are glossy and smooth, creating a lush, cascading effect. It is prized as a ground cover or houseplant for its ornamental foliage.

Grow Zone:
USDA Zones 9–11. In cooler climates, it is commonly grown indoors or as an annual.

Height and Width:
Typically grows 6 to 12 inches tall and spreads up to 2 feet or more, depending on conditions. Indoors, it trails elegantly from containers or hanging baskets.

Uses:
Used as a ground cover in frost-free areas, container or hanging basket plant, and as an indoor houseplant. It is also employed for erosion control due to its dense growth.

Native Range:
Native to southeastern Brazil and northeastern Argentina.

Sun Requirements:
Thrives in bright, indirect light for best variegation. It can tolerate some direct morning sun but should be protected from harsh afternoon light, which can scorch the leaves. In lower light, it may lose variegation and turn more green.

Water Requirements:
Prefers consistently moist but well-drained soil. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and avoid waterlogging. Reduce watering slightly during winter or in lower light conditions.
