Tradescantia Pallida Purpurea “Purple Misery”

Tradescantia Pallida Purpurea, commonly known as  "Purple Heart", is an attractive houseplant loved for its vibrant purple leaves and ease of care. Originally from Mexico, it is distinguished by its elongated, deep purple leaves, which offer a striking splash of colour to any interior.

This plant is relatively easy to care for. It thrives in a bright environment, but prefers indirect light rather than direct sun exposure, especially during the hottest hours of the day. Well-draining soil is essential to preventing root rot, so be sure to plant purple weed in a light, well-aerated potting mix.

When it comes to watering, it's important to keep the soil slightly moist, but not soggy. Wait until the soil is dry on top before watering again. In winter, reduce the frequency of watering as the plant enters a dormant phase.

Tradescantia Pallida Purpurea is also easy to propagate. You can do this by taking cuttings from healthy stems and rooting them in water or moist potting soil. With proper care, this plant can not only add a splash of color to your interior, but also multiply so that you can enjoy it in several areas of your home.
