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.

I was sent this package with the item dirty. Black stains throughout as if it was worn right before selling it, which IT WAS. I found someone’s ID in the pocket and chewing gum wrapper. Never again.

Loved it.. Slim fit Prom suit!
Size: 30, Color: White
I absolutely loved this suit!! It fit my son PERFECTLY!! It’s a true slim fit like the kids like these days. I’ve bought several suits online and none of them fit like this one. They SAY slim fit but they’re not. This one was!! 👌🏽 My son is small. He’s a Junior this year and wears a size 30… it’s true to size! ❤️ He’s about 5’8” 125lbs and still had some room in the length. He would of got the length hemmed a bit cuz he likes his pants right above his ankle. If your son is taller, you might not have to hem. We ordered the white. Unfortunately I had to return it because his girlfriend switched color schemes from pink & white to pink & black so he wore a blk suit he already had. I was tempted to still keep it because that’s how much I liked it on him. He liked it too 😩 But chances are he wouldn’t be able to fit it next year so I decided to return it. But, I’m definitely buying this suit again next year… hopefully the other colors fit like the white one, just incase his girlfriend wants a different color. The white was not see through. Very good quality especially for the price. I felt bad returning it… but trust me, I’ll definitely buy it again next year for homecoming/prom!!

Good but true to size, don’t size up even if the company says too!
Color: Black, Size: Large, Color: Black, Size: Large
It fits the way it should and is a decent suit for $100 and is super soft material so the outside feels great and the inside is silky so it is all around a good suit. But the company reached out and asked for measurements to double check sizing. I ordered a large and giving measurements and all that, the company told me to size up and order an XL. Definitely should have gone with a large. It was extremely long in the pants and sleeves due to upsizing.

Great Quality and Value, With a Small Detail to Note
Color: Brown, Size: Small
Gorgeous suit. The only downside for us is that the lines are diagonal rather than a traditional pinstripe. Other than that, the suit is very well made. Great value for the price, and the sizing is accurate plus fast shipping that right there are great reasons to add this to your suit rotation.
