Native habitat and growth pattern

Indoors, it thrives as a trailing houseplant, perfect for hanging baskets, planters, or containers where its vines can spill dramatically over the sides.

Size
W12cm nursery pot. Supplied in a plastic nursery pot.

Styling tips

  • Mix with green foliage plants for a bold colour contrast

  • Use in a cluster of trailing plants for a retro-inspired jungle look

  • Easy to style in smaller homes and flats thanks to its compact growth

Tradescantia Purple Passion care guide

Light requirements:
Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant purple tones. In lower light, the colour may fade slightly.

Watering:
Water when the top few centimetres of soil feel dry. Water thoroughly, then allow the soil to dry out again. Avoid leaving the roots sitting in water.

Feeding:
Feed once a month in spring and summer. For best results, use our vegan, organic Original Plant Food to encourage lush and colourful growth.

Humidity:
Enjoys average household humidity but appreciates an occasional misting.

Pet safety:
Mildly toxic if ingested — best kept out of reach of cats and dogs.

Propagation:
Very easy to propagate from stem cuttings. Simply snip a section of vine and root it in water or soil.

Why choose this plant?

This plant is also a nostalgic favourite, a classic from the 1970s now making a huge comeback thanks to its vibrant colour and easy-care nature. Whether styled in a modern home or a retro-inspired space, it brings charm, character, and a splash of jungle style.

As a gift, it’s both colourful and thoughtful — a plant that will brighten up any home and continue to thrive with minimal care.

Very Sturdy and Safe for Tough Chewers
Style: Muskie
We already had a smaller fish toy from this brand, and after 4 months it is, amazingly, still intact. So we ordered this larger one as a holiday present. Our dog usually can rip apart any toy, even "tough chewer" toys, within a few minutes or hours, so this brand is a definite keeper for us. We have also had their giraffe toy for 4 months with no rips or holes. The best part is that there is no stuffing to worry about. Inside the toy is a rope toy instead of stuffing, so it is so much less risky. Highly recommended.

Not worth the money
The dog toy that I received looks nothing like the picture. There is no stuffing, the seams are on the outside leaving frayed fabric exposed and toy itself is tiny. It is being returned.

Owls love it too!
My friend who is a licensed Master Falconer currently has an Owl as her partner. The owl (a female) is playful and had stolen a dog toy a while back and played with it until she shredded it. She loves her squeaky fish and plays with it every morning, tossing it about or shaking it.

Great toy
