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.

Nice Side Table
Color: Ink Black, Number of Items: 1
This is a nice side table. The assembly hardware is of good quality. The wood product finishes are very nice and the pieces assemble solidly. The instructions are easy to follow except for the drawer slides where a little more concentration is needed . . . or maybe it’s just me.

Nice and sturdy side table but the white is not white
Color: Farmhouse White, Number of Items: 2, Color: Farmhouse White, Number of Items: 2
This is a nice-looking and sturdy side table. We found it easy to assemble. It works well in small spaces. Be sure to check the dimensions so you aren’t surprised by how narrow and long it is. The drawer is small, but big enough to hold some remotes or other small items. We ordered the white with brown top. Unfortunately, it definitely is not white but more of an ivory or cream color.

Great table!
Color: Espresso, Number of Items: 1, Color: Espresso, Number of Items: 1
Just what we were looking for! The table was well made and went together very easily (my husband and I did it in well under an hour). We were very pleased with the quality of the wood. The only thing I would suggest to the company is that the glide parts weren’t labeled with stickers like every other part was. That would have been a big help.

Some frustration, but overall worth it.
Color: Ink Black, Number of Items: 1, Color: Ink Black, Number of Items: 1
Sturdy. Everything came in one piece and the instructions were some of the clearest I've encountered for Amazon furniture. Took about an hour for me to muscle my way through with manual screwdrivers only. I do not recommend a drill unless you go slow, because screw placement will make or break this for you in my opinion. Problems I encountered and how I overcame them: Drawer was rickety, kept catching when trying to pull out. I had to go back and tighten the tiny black screws on the rails. If they are not as flush as you can possibly get them, they will cause the wheels to catch. Once I got them as tight as possible, the drawer pull out was much smoother. Getting the first set of rails on. Space was EXTREMELY tight and frustrating. I ended up using a small screwdriver from my house, pressing it tightly with one hand, and using a pair of pliers to turn the screwdriver. Like a socket wrench type action. This sucked, I can't lie. And it wasn't possible to put them on earlier due to the cam bolts/screws under the rail. But I got through it. Overall, this is worth the money as long as you are willing to take your time and line things up properly and really use some elbow grease to get the screws in straight and flush.
