More about Purple Heart
Bring a vibrant splash of colour to your indoor space with the captivating Purple Heart (Tradescantia pallida). This easy-to-care-for trailing plant boasts stunning, deep purple foliage that cascades beautifully from hanging baskets, shelves, or mantlepieces. The narrow, pointed leaves are a rich, jewel-toned purple, adding a touch of drama and personality to any room. Beyond its visual appeal, the Purple Heart is a natural air purifier, helping to remove common household toxins and create a healthier indoor environment. This versatile plant is a perfect choice for plant enthusiasts of all experience levels.
Important Note: While the Purple Heart is generally non-toxic, it's always best to keep houseplants out of reach of curious pets and small children.
Pro Tip
The Purple Heart thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh sunlight, which can fade the vibrant purple colour of the leaves. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, and allow excess water to drain completely to prevent root rot. Reduce watering in winter or lower-light conditions. Average room humidity is sufficient, but occasional misting can be beneficial, especially in dry climates. Choose a well-draining potting mix and fertilize monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer. With proper care, your Purple Heart will reward you with a stunning cascade of vibrant purple foliage for years to come.
