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.

Well designed portable water flosser that's holding up so far
There are a number of such portable water flossers on Amazon, but this is one of the better ones IMO. The water pressure is adequate, with enough settings to allow you to ramp up (or keep using on a lower setting if desired). One nice feature is that the tank detaches easily and this makes filling under a tap easier than other units which don't have an easily detached tank. The tank shape is also a bit fatter so it's not too long along any one dimension. The tank capacity of 300 ml is adequate for a single use. The standard suite of flosser heads are included - flossing itself, peridontal, and one for braces. The tongue cleaner attachment is also there but I prefer to use a separate tongue cleaner tool. Charging is via USB-C and while the port isn't super water proof, there's no damage to the unit yet. Battery life is typical at about 20-30 days with twice a day usage.

Quit working in a month
Bought one. It quit working. They sent another… it never worked right before finally dying on me the same way. Looks like it’s not even an available product anymore. But if it ever does come back.. don’t buy it.

Not what I expected!
I have never used a dental flosser before, and it showed by the mess I made haha. I can say, this isn't for me, but I can see the appeal. It is relatively lightweight and comes with a lot of different attachments. Loading it up with water is easy and doesn't take much effort. I would call this portable, even though it is a little big. I can only stand the "soft mode". If I choose any other, my mouth is overwhelmed. Overall, I would definitely recommend this if you have experience with dental flossers. It was hard to use at first but you get the hang of it.

Reasonable cost dental device (updated review)
I used this device for a few months to provide an accurate review. First off, it works. Fill the bottom end section with water, snap in a tip, switch on and go. Easy to use, and the instruction set is short and simple, the result of a thoughtful adoption process. Very reasonable cost. Several heads are provided for you to select. And there are three settings to use: soft, normal and pulse. I did not find any benefit to the pulse setting as it seemed to cycle the water pressure lower than to normal repeatedly. Several additional items worth mentioning: 1) The water pressure is modest. the lower pressure is made up for in more water delivery. 2) This device consumes water at a rapid pace. What this means is that you will need to either swallow or spill the water out of the side of your mouth at least twice during the 90 second cycle - while the unit is operating. Switch off during the cycle restarts the countdown. Water will accumulate rapidly in your mouth. You need to spill the accumulated water in your mouth with the unit on. If you remove it from your mouth you will have a mess around you. 3) The on-off switch is located on the handle toward the top. You will need to learn to not place your finger over the switch which abruptly shuts the device off. Conversely, if you like to swith off the device during the cycle to neatly spill accumulated water out of your mouth, you may find yourself attempting to find the switch push button without a tactile means of feeling for it. 4) The charge port has a small flexible grommet covering it, which might take a little while to find where it is located. 5) **This is my update from my original posting**: the duration of charge shortened over the last several weeks to the point where with the unit switched on, the lights are on, but the pump no longer works, meaning it died and has been trashed.

Decent water flosser.
This water flosser is a handy way to clean your teeth, especially when you're on the go. It's cordless and rechargeable, and it comes with different tips for various needs. The water tank holds enough for a full cleaning, and it doesn't leak. It has multiple settings, from gentle to strong, to get your teeth feeling fresh. While the tips might not be the most durable, and attaching the top can be a bit tricky, it's a great tool for keeping your mouth clean and healthy. It's a good alternative to traditional flossing, helping to remove bits and keep your gums healthy.
