Comments: Tradescantia flumensis Vell 'Variegata' or Vell Variegated
Wandering Jew or Inch Plant is a humid tolerant and low-maintenance,
easy to grow pretty looking groundcover. It is named after Jose Mariano
da conceicao Vellozo (1742-1811) who first named this plant.
Tradescantia flumensis Vell 'Variegata' looks lovely as a houseplant in
a hanging basket. The cuttings root easily in water.
Pinch back plant to maintain shape. I plant my Vell Variegated
Wandering Jew in a pot and allow it to cascade down the sides of the
container.
