Inch Plant

The Inch Plant, also known as Tradescantia zebrina, is a trailing plant with attractive, deep purple leaves that are striped with silver or bright green. It is a popular houseplant that is easy to care for and adds a splash of color to any room.

It prefers consistently moist soil, so don’t go too long between waterings. It will tolerate the occasional dry-out; just don’t make it a regular thing.

Always keep these plants right in front of a window in order to encourage more vigorous, compact growth and maintain the beautiful coloration in the foliage. Some direct sun indoors is very beneficial.

No, this plant is not pet friendly.

When the humidity is too low, the leaves will start to turn brown and die. This is the biggest issue with growing them indoors during the winter months, when the air in our home is super dry. So, it's very important to keep the humidity as high as possible.
