Wandering Jew

Tradescantia or Wandering Jew also called as inch plant, are great house plants because of their fast and wide spreading feature, good looks, absolutely low maintenance requirements and most importantly, they are difficult to kill plants.  The Tradescantia genus comes in nearly 75 varieties that differ in color, shape and design patterns. The plant reflects bold color patterns in shiny silvery stripes, violet and light and dark green color combinations, that gives it a distinguishing look. The plant is perennial and grows well indoor as well as in outdoor conditions and in soil as well as hydroponic medium. The color of the leaves directly depends on the level of exposure to sun. Greater the sun exposure, darker will be the color of leaves in shades of purple.  It is extremely easy to propagate the Wandering Jew plants and spreads super fast. You can give it the trajectory you want. A lush Tradescantia foliage at side wall boundary, or along the railing boundary of staircase or in hanging planters are ideal placements for the plant. The plant also takes a fast growth trajectory in water based propagation stations.
