As well as being a very easy-going and rewarding plant to grow,Tradescantiazebrina’s leaf pattern is also what gives it its common names – such as Wandering Jew,Inchplantor more recentlyWandering Dude. These names all refer to the same plant, which has silver stripes on purple along the top of the leaf, with a purple underside. In its native Mexico and Central America,Tradescantiazebrinaforms a sprawling ground cover and this makes it perfectly suited for a plant which is going to spill out of the side of a hanging basket or pot.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis Tradescantia Zebrina houseplant is a nice option if you’re after something with an eye-catching trailing habit and good pattern rather than simply green leaves. Hanging baskets, open shelves that allow for trailing stems to spill over, and desks where a small trailing houseplant provides a focal point all seem to be ideal settings. It likes bright, indirect light; deep shade or very bright direct sunlight don’t really work well, so position your houseplant close to a window where there is indirect sunlight filtered through. Once it settles in, this plant is pretty quick to establish and grows at a nice steady speed so it’s quite rewarding to see how it has grown in over a few months.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnlike many succulents, they prefer for the soil to be kept lightly moist rather than let go completely dry so it requires a slightly different watering rhythm than that of the cactus and succulent that have thick fleshy leaves.
