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.

Great flavors! Quick shipment - why not?!
Flavor Name: Barista Flavored Pack, Size: 10 Count (Pack of 3), Flavor Name: Barista Flavored Pack, Size: 10 Count (Pack of 3)
I love these flavors! I'm new to Nespresso and these flavors do not disappoint! I love sweet cream in coffee so I still use that, but really not a big need. I heat up the creamer in the microwave first, then fill my cup with nespresso, the result - is a super yummy, flavorful, coffee. wow! I can't wait to try more flavors!!

Absolute perfection these are now my daily cup instead of coffee shops now
Flavor Name: Barista Flavored Pack, Size: 10 Count (Pack of 3)
I finally picked up the Nespresso Vertuo Barista Flavored Pack, and I have to say, these are the perfect coffee flavors. They arrived in the original Nespresso boxes, (I’ve been duped before) which ensures freshness and quality right out of the gate. The pack includes three fantastic varieties: Sweet Vanilla, Golden Caramel, and Roasted Hazelnut. Each one brews a smooth 7.8oz cup with that signature, velvety crema on top. The Sweet Vanilla is subtle and it adds a gentle sweetness without being artificial or overpowering . The Golden Caramel is rich with those lovely biscuity flavors, making it feel like a treat every morning . The Roasted Hazelnut is probably my favorite; the nutty flavor is perfect with a little milk and honey, and it smells incredible while brewing . I love that they are a medium roast, so they have enough body to stand up to a splash of milk or cream, but they are also smooth enough to drink black. Knowing the capsules are fully recyclable is a nice bonus, too . If you are looking to elevate your coffee routine without leaving the house, this variety pack is a must try. Highly recommended I’ve bought it a few time already and it beats spending $8 on a mediocre coffee at a coffee shop where the barista hates making coffee for people who love coffee.

So delicious and full of flavor. Love the variety pack
Flavor Name: Barista Flavored Pack, Size: 10 Count (Pack of 3)
I love the variety! They all taste delicious and I love that they are color coded and easy to distinguish what is what. You definitely only need one or two cups. Very good coffee. I used to drink a pot of coffee. With these it is 2 cups. Plenty of caffeine for an energetic day. Will buy more
