House plant that must be identified: Moses in the Cradle Plant
Hey, what a clever website you have here. I am so thankful to be able to have some qualified assistance regarding my houseplant identification crisis. I love house plants, I am 16 with 10 plants in my small bedroom. Gardening is a hobby of mine that I’m very eager to take with me into adulthood. I was getting new tires this morning when I came across this BEAUTIFUL plant and I immediately searched for a website that would help me identify it. Thanks!
Hi,
Tradescantia spathacea
It is great that you’re so into houseplants! The new one you like is called a Moses in the Cradle Plant (Tradescantia spathacea). It is a close relative of the Wandering Jew Plant. You can read my plant care tips on how to grow a Tradescantia spathacea in the Popular HousePlant section of the website.
