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.

Obsessed. Soothing, effective, fragrance-free, incredibly healing
Style: Tolerance Daily Foaming Facial Cleanser
I’ve been loving this so much I bought a second bottle after a few days of using it. It has all the skin soothing benefits of the tolerance lotion cleanser, but it’s also a really great cleanser. It’s almost not noticeable how good it is at cleansing because your skin doesn’t feel stripped after, but it takes things off really quickly. I was worried because it doesn’t foam a lot and it feels so nurturing — much like the tolerance lotion cleanser (which I use as a second cleanse when my skin needs a few days to recover from something like a derm office treatment) — but when I wash again with my favorite HG cleanser nothing extra comes off, and I tested it twice on waterproof eyeliner that I’d swiped on my forearm for an hour or so, the eyeliner dissolved and wiped off with two or three gentle swipes. It has a very emollient texture, so when you rub it against your skin it slips so easily you don’t realize it’s dissolving and taking things away because there is no friction. So it’s great at taking off makeup, it’s AMAZING at cleaning makeup brushes, and IT DOES NOT BURN MY EYES AT ALL. Also, it is FRAGRANCE-FREE… before I bought it I read a review complaining about smelling a citrus fragrance, that person either has some sort of brain tumor or something spilled on their bottle when it was in a warehouse because this is definitely a fragrance-free product. Prior to trying this, I had tried another cleanser that gave me weird acne hives all over my chest (never happened to me before) and I was struggling to heal the acne and the irritation. I noticed an immediate difference when I started using the tolerance cleanser on it; the fresh redness went away, the acne started healing, and the post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation has been healing fast. So I’ve been using this on my body as well and it’s soothing and moisturizing in all the places where other things have been drying. I have mild rosacea and I hadn’t realized how irritated my skin was from the last thing I’d tried until after 5 days or so of using this my skin tone looked much more even and the stubborn PIH I have from a two-zit hormonal breakout a month ago finally looked dramatically lighter (as recently as the week before, I’d needed to cover them with high-coverage concealer). Because this doesn’t foam much, some people might not realize how well it’s cleaning… I encourage you to judge it based on how your skin looks and feels. Since it is very emollient though, I do think it’s important to use it with a face wash scrubber or washcloth just to ensure you’re getting some mild mechanical exfoliation and clearing away skin cells that could be trapping stuff in your pores. For this reason, I do wash my face with this twice so the first wash can get off makeup/debris/oil and then the second wash can really penetrate and clean my skin.

No Scent and Gentle
Style: Tolerance Daily Foaming Facial Cleanser
I broke out in a case of Perioral Dermatitis recently and bought this product to help before I could see my doctor. Avene Tolerance facial cleanser has no scent and is very gentle on my skin. It didn’t burn when washing with this product, and even helped to slough off the dead skin around my lips. My face feels clean, not dry. I am still going to see my doc to get an RX for the inflammation, but I do believe this product helped to alleviate the dryness and tightness of my skin and lips. I’ve used other Avene products and I’m very happy with them. Even though these products are more expensive, to me they are well worth the money because they are much more gentle on the skin than any other products I’ve used. I will buy this product again just because of the fact that it’s so gentle. PS: at the time of purchase for this product, I also bought Avene’s Tolerance Control Skin Recovery Cream (you don’t need to use a lot of this one on your entire face), and Avene’s Cicalfate for lips. Between these 3 products, my lips and skin feel a lot better (however, I will still see my doctor because I have Crohn’s Disease and Perioral Dermatitis is considered an extra-intestinal side effect of Crohn’s).

Gentle everyday cleanser!
Style: Tolerance Daily Foaming Facial Cleanser
My go to nightly cleanser! Gentle yet effective. Removes makeup without leaving any residue behind. Also does not dry out my skin or cause breakouts! I would say it’s more of a cream cleanser though. It does not really foam up. It’s a decent size bottle for the price. The pump dispenser is an added plus!

So gentle and moisturizing. Great for super sensitive skin.
Style: Tolerance Daily Foaming Facial Cleanser
This is so gentle and moisturizing. Does not irritate my skin in any way. My skin is super sensitive and I have atopic dermatitis, it has been the best cleanser I’ve used to date. I was using another one from this brand and it was fine but this is the one I will continually stick with from now on. Just hope they don’t change the formula.
