The inch plant (Tradescantia spp.) is a plant with multiple names. It has traditionally been known as the “Wandering Jew” plant. Named aptly after its habit of growing rapidly and unchecked and wandering to the ends of the earth if left to its own devices.
Inch plant care requires bright, indirect light. If the light is too dim, the distinctive leaf markings will fade. Keep the soil slightly moist, but don’t water directly into the crown as this will cause an unsightly rot.
