The Wandering Jew Burgundy (Tradescantia zebrina) is one of the most visually captivating houseplants you can grow — and one of the easiest. Its leaves shift dynamically between deep burgundy and rich purple depending on light exposure, creating a living color display that changes with the seasons and your environment.
Fast-growing, trailing, and virtually indestructible, this plant is a favorite for hanging baskets, shelves, and ground cover in warm climates. Whether you're a first-time plant parent or a seasoned collector, Tradescantia zebrina delivers maximum impact with minimal effort.
How many cuttings are included?
Each order includes 5 fresh Wandering Jew Burgundy cuttings — enough to start multiple pots or create a full, lush hanging display.
Why does the color change between burgundy and purple?
The color shift is natural and light-dependent. In brighter light, the leaves display deeper, richer purple tones. In lower light, they lean more toward burgundy-green. It’s not a sign of stress — it’s one of this plant’s most charming features.
How do I root the cuttings?
Place cuttings in a glass of water until roots appear (usually 1–2 weeks), then transfer to moist, well-draining potting mix. Alternatively, plant directly into moist soil and keep consistently watered until established.
Is Tradescantia zebrina safe for pets?
Tradescantia zebrina can cause mild skin irritation and is considered mildly toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. Keep it out of reach of pets and wash hands after handling.
Can I grow Wandering Jew outdoors?
Yes — in warm climates (USDA zones 9–12) it can be grown outdoors as a ground cover or in containers. Note that it is considered invasive in some warm regions, so check local guidelines before planting outdoors.
