Hallo! Ich bin sehr neu in Garten- und Innenpflanzen. Ich habe mich in diesen Kerl bei Trader Joe (10,99 USD !!) verliebt und jetzt wurde mir klar, dass es nirgendwo Tags oder Informationen gibt. Hat also jemand Tipps, wie man ihm hilft, gedeihen zu können oder welche Art von Pflanze es ist?

Spiderwort. Very easy to take care of. Well draining soil & water when dry.
And don’t worry if the vines start to lose leaves and look all spindly. It does that. I just snip the vines around their nodules and stick them back in the pot.
Tradescantia Zebrina! One of the easiest plants that I’ve had. You’ll want to bottom water since the leaves hate to get wet. Super easy to chop and prop just sticking the cutting right back into the soil to fill out the plant more! Good luck, the shimmery leaves are my faaaavorite!

The more sun it gets, the more dark purple it’s leaves get.
They are crawlers and want to sprawl out and around. The majority that I see hanging go bald up top. But so easy to propagate and grow that you really can’t mess up too bad.
Very hard to kill. I have had one for years and about every 2 years this looks really dead. But I just take what is green and put them in a glass with water. Few weeks later those have tons of roots and I plant them.
If you have cats, tradescantia can be very, very toxic to them. I thought I was on top of keeping mine hung out of reach and trimmed, but years ago one of my cats managed to have a munch and had such a horrific allergic reaction/mouth ulcers that he had a feeding tube for two weeks (he’s okay now and I threw the plant out immediately).
Gorgeous plant, super easy to care for, but I wouldn’t keep it in the same house as pets if they can climb/jump/access it.
