Identify My Purple and Green Plant

Hi Angelia,

Your plant is a type of Wandering Jew plant (TRADESCANTIA ZEBRINA). Wandering Jew houseplants, are fast growing easy care plants that are perfect to hang in front of a window that gets bright indirect light. Water a Wandering Jew Plant well and then allow the top 2 or 3 inches of soil to dry out before watering the plant again. If the soil of a Wandering Jew Plant stays too dry and the plant is in bright light, the leaves of the Wandering Jew Plant become stunted the leaves lose color.

You can read all my care tips in the Popular Houseplant section of the website.
