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.

Super soft blanket
Color: Polar Blue, Size: Full/Queen (90 in x 90 in), Color: Polar Blue, Size: Full/Queen (90 in x 90 in)
It turned out nicer than I expected, what a surprise. Very light and soft, slightly stretchy. It felt high quality and the color complimented the room perfectly. My mom even wanted to take it to the paint store and find out what color it is so she can paint her room the same color. Great blanket.

Nice blanket
Color: Southern Blues, Size: Full/Queen (90 in x 90 in), Color: Southern Blues, Size: Full/Queen (90 in x 90 in)
This is a really nice blanket. If fits on my bed very well. It went through the laundry really nice and didn’t fade or ripper. Have any strings come undone. I like the very light green color. My pictures aren’t great, but one side is the underneath side, the white and then the light green is the other picture. This is well-made you can see in the picture up close that it’s so really well. All layers are sewn together, so you do not have bunching up when you wash the blanket. It is super soft with a good weight. It’s not super lightweight, but it’s not heavy at all. Overall, I’m very pleased with it and I would recommend.

Soft, Lightweight, and Perfect for Year-Round Comfort
Color: Polar Blue, Size: King (90 in x 108 in)
This Berkshire 3-layer fleece blanket is exactly what I was hoping for. It is incredibly soft and has a cozy cotton-like feel without being too heavy or bulky. The king size is generous and fits the bed nicely, but it is also comfortable enough to use on the couch. I really like that it feels warm and breathable at the same time, so it works well for different seasons. The Polar Blue color is soft and pretty, and the blanket has a nice textured look that makes it feel a little more elevated than a basic fleece blanket. It also washes well, which is a huge plus. After washing, it still feels soft and comfortable, and it did not lose its shape. Overall, this is a great blanket if you want something cozy, lightweight, and easy to care for. I would definitely recommend it.

I love this because it folds up easily & does not take up much space but keeps you warm and secure.
Color: Southern Blues, Size: King (90 in x 108 in)
Heavy and BIG. The color is great. Its not very thick but it does have some heft to it. I love this because it folds up easily and does not take up much space but keeps you warm and secure. Its got a waffle type contour texture. It says its fleece but to me it did not feel like fleece. However, I have never heard of berkshire fleece before-- I would not guess this is fleece at all. Its not fuzzy in the least. It is breathable and the color is muted and perfect. For a king sized blanket this is surprisingly portable yet substantial enough to keep the entire bed covered and warm!
