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 evening serum for dry skin
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I bought this serum to use in my evening routine, and by morning my skin looks more hydrated and “filled”. The texture is clear and gel-like, very lightweight, spreads easily and absorbs fast without stickiness. After it dries, I apply my night moisturizer on top. In the morning my skin looks softer, smoother and less tired. Big plus for me is how comfortable it feels on the skin, the only small minus is that the bottle is not very big. I think it works especially well for dry or more mature skin.

Helped My Texture & Pores So Much
Size: 2.03 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I bought this mainly to help with skin texture and the appearance of my pores, and it has honestly worked really well. After using it consistently, my skin feels noticeably smoother and looks more refined overall. I’ve especially noticed a difference around areas where I tend to have larger pores and uneven texture. My skin looks softer, more even, and makeup applies much more smoothly now. The serum itself feels lightweight, absorbs nicely, and doesn’t leave my skin sticky or greasy. It layers well with the rest of my skincare routine and hasn’t irritated my sensitive skin at all. I also love that the jumbo size lasts a long time, so it feels like a really good value for the amount you get. Definitely happy with this purchase and would repurchase again!

Surprisingly Effective – Smoother, Firmer, More Hydrated Skin!!!
Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I decided to try the FRANKLY Closer Serum after seeing it listed as Amazon’s Choice and noticed it had been purchased 6K+ times in the past month  and I can see why! This serum has been a great addition to my skincare routine. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly, leaving no sticky residue. It feels hydrating right away, and over time, I’ve noticed my skin looks smoother and more refined, especially around my pores and T-zone. It doesn’t clog pores, which is important for my acne-prone skin, and it layers well under makeup or sunscreen. I appreciate the powerhouse ingredients like 9 peptides, vegan collagen, adenosine, and PHA  they’ve helped improve my skin’s elasticity and texture without irritation. The glow is real, and I can see that “glass skin” look starting to come through with consistent use. The 1.01 fl oz size may seem small, but a little goes a long way. The pump bottle is hygienic and easy to use, and the overall packaging feels clean and modern. If you’re looking for a gentle, multi-tasking anti-aging and pore-refining serum, this one is a great value  and it lives up to the hype.

The best pore reducer, even on older complexions!
Size: 2.03 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Nothing has ever worked reducing my enlarged cheek and nose pores over the years. Now I've finally found something that works. By the second day there was noticeable results and by the end of the first week even the small wrinkles under my eyes was gone! I use it with my normal skin care routine but I won't do without this again.
