🌿 Yellow-green and purple variegated foliage • ☀️ Bright indirect light • 💧 Moderate watering • 🌱 Fast trailing growth • 🐾 Toxic to pets

This fascinating variety features succulent trailing stems that create a colorful and luminous plant cascade, perfect for bringing life and color to your urban jungle.
Native to the tropical forests of Central and South America (Mexico, Brazil), Tradescantia naturally grows as a creeping or trailing plant in moist undergrowth where it develops its characteristic colorful stems. Its yellow-green variegated foliage with purple hues creates a unique and bright visual effect. With its current height of 40 cm and pot diameter of 17 cm, it becomes a graphic and colorful trailing plant in your urban jungle, perfect for hanging, a high shelf, or a furniture edge where its stems can cascade freely.
Light & Placement

Watering & Care
- Watering: moderate; allow the substrate to dry slightly between waterings.
- Frequency: about once a week in spring-summer, reduce in winter.

Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
