Tradescantia Zebrina, known as the Zebra Plant or Wandering Dude, is one of the most visually striking trailing plants you can grow. Its oval leaves have two broad, silvery-white stripes running down a rich green to deep purple upper surface, while the undersides are an intense, uniform magenta. In bright light the silvery portions seem to sparkle. It grows quickly, trails beautifully from hanging baskets and shelves, and is one of the most rewarding fast-growing plants for any collection.

Good for beginners? Yes. Tradescantia Zebrina is easy, adaptable, and incredibly fast-growing. It tolerates a range of conditions and roots easily from cuttings.

Safe for cats and dogs? Tradescantia is considered mildly toxic to pets if ingested and can cause skin irritation. Keep out of reach of cats and dogs.

Light needs: Bright indirect light to some direct morning sun produces the most vivid silver and purple coloring. In lower light the silver stripes fade and the plant becomes mostly green. More light equals more color.

Care at a glance: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Feed monthly in spring and summer. Pinch back tips regularly to keep it full and bushy rather than sparse and trailing. It grows very quickly and benefits from regular trimming.
