- The Tradescantia Pink Paradise, commonly known as an Inch Plant or Wandering Dude, is a real live evergreen trailing mini houseplant in a 6cm pot with bright pink purple foliage with splashes of silvery green.
- This South American native houseplant is fast growing and easy to care for. Its eye catching trailing foliage makes it the perfect gift for any house plant enthusiasts, and its low maintenance makes it suitable for beginners.
- Tradescantia grows best in a spot where it gets bright, indirect light. The soil should be moist, but not waterlogged. Water regularly, checking to see when the top couple of inches of soil are dry. Keep in a warm room, and try to bottom water it to prevent water sitting on the leaves, by placing it in a saucer of water and wait for it to absorb as much as it needs.
- Check the bottom of the pot once a year, to see whether it needs repotting – if there are lots of roots coming out of the holes it may need a slightly bigger pot. Use a good quality, well draining potting compost when repotting, and prune to desired size if it starts to get too large.
- Please note: the decorative pot shown in the images is for illustration purposes only and is not included with the plant.

Watering Water when the top few centimetres of compost begin to dry, then water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain away. Do not leave the plant sitting in standing water, as consistently wet roots can lead to rot. Growth slows in winter, so reduce watering frequency during cooler, darker months.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in bright, indirect light, ideally at around 18-26°C, away from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes. Use a good-quality, well-drained houseplant compost and make sure excess water can drain freely from the pot. Most houseplants perform best with moderate humidity and should be kept away from strong radiator heat.
