The Wandering Jew plant (Tradescantia zebrina) is a flowering perennial known for its purple, green, and light pink striped, heart-shaped foliage. This easy-to-care plant is grown as a houseplant, and actually prefers breaks between watering which makes it fairly low-maintenance. Although called the Wandering Jew, this tropical plant is native to Mexico, South and Central America, and the Caribbean. When grown outdoors, many consider this plant to be quite invasive, but this quality makes it an excellent indoor vining plant. Grow this plant in bright, indirect sunlight for optimal vibrant blooms, and place it somewhere that’s not accessible to pets or small children. Place your Wandering Jew plant in a hanging basket or stand to show off its vining growth habit, and unique foliage.
