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.

A definite keeper :)
Size: C20 renewed, Size: C20 renewed
I had a shark that gave out after 3 years. (It didn’t have a mop) I ordered a new one from a different company and the new one I bought was defective so when I saw this one half price renewed I figured it couldn’t hurt because this one was only 50 more than the other one. I’m so glad the other brand was defective. This thing is amazing . The app was easy to set up after I realized the quick start card they send has and old obsolete app. Once I searched and found the right app. It’s called eufy clean . All went as planned. There app has so many things to customize. I have a fluffy carpet in my bedroom and was able to set the suction Lower so it wouldn’t damage the carpet. You can customize what rooms it mops , vacuums or if u want both and how many time it will pass through each room 1 or 2 times . I didn’t want a vacuum with a bag but I’m ok with compromising that . The app also has a section to tell u when it’s time to change parts for maintenance. It mapped my small apt very quickly. Its base is larger but it tucks under the base . My shark had no mapping and just bumped randomly around. So always a tapping while it was cleaning. I find this to be much quieter the only time it’s loud is when it returns back to the base ti dump dirt and that is the sound of a regular vacuum running and it’s only for a minute or 2 at tops. I cant speak for battery life because it’s renewed but it cleaned my on bedroom apart in about 40 minutes with 60% battery left. It came in its original box like it was brand new. Only a few indentations on the top of the actual vacuum from what I saw. As for longevity we will see but as of now this renewed item is a definite keeper.

Mapping all areas first
Size: C20 renewed
Great vac Quick delivery Easy set up Mop wasn’t responding and customer service was amazing to help troubleshoot and get the problem resolved. A little frustrated at first because the chat wasn’t as helpful and I could not reach them by phone but the email techs replied immediately and promptly responses and help.

Rattles like a vibrator when it mops after about 2 weeks.
Size: C20 renewed
Works ok. Vacuum beater and opening is only about 6 inches long and the dirt box in the bot is really tiny. Beater is way to tiny to do any real vacuuming on even short shag rugs. The mop works but basically just evenly spreads out whatever dirt is on the floor, evenly across your entire floor and sands the floor with it. After about 2 weeks the bot starts rattling REALLY loud and vibrating like its falling apart. The crazy loud rattling noise is coming from the plastic mop pad axles when they spin. The vacuum bag inside the base is very good quality, but small and not reusable. I cut the far end of the bag down the middle and glued on some velcro strips to each side to re-close it, which allows me to empty the bag and then close it back up again. Pretty sure this thing transmits everything it sees/does back to China.

Issues
Size: C20 renewed
Spent all this money for it to consistently have problems. It doesn’t even mop anymore because it keeps saying there is a problem with the sewage tank. I’ve only turned it on less than 5 times and it’s already having issues. Can’t even get it to mop anymore

Works great
Size: C20 renewed
I saved some money by purchasing this certified like new. Worked well out of the box, but there was an issue with it and the people that do in fact check to ensure these work should do a better job. The issue was with the water and emptying it into the dirty tank. Just kept giving me an error. So, I had to look online for troubleshooting issues. After maybe 20-30 minutes I figured out a tiny little metal piece was loose where the water would have been distributed to. I was able to pop it out and place it back in. After that, and with the right settings selected through the app, everything works great. Well worth it.
