This variety's leaves are striped with bright green and white, an eye-catching colouring which earns it the moniker 'silver queen'. Recreate the forest floor's light conditions and this plant will repay your care by growing and spreading its gorgeous foliage wherever you let it!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0,\"2\":{\"6\":1}}{\"1\":20}' data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":11203,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16777215},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"16\":10}' data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;Tradescantia zebrina (Tradescant's zebra-like plant) 'Purpusii'\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eTradescantia zebrina (Tradescant's zebra-like plant) 'Pink Joy'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":11139,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16777215},\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"16\":10}' data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;Purple Inch Plant, Purple Wandering Jew, Spiderwort 'Violet Hill', Wandering Dude\u0026quot;}\" data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003ePurple Inch Plant, Purple Wandering Jew, Spiderwort 'Pink Joy', Wandering Dude\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eForests of Central America\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThrives in bright, indirect light; too little light will leave it leggy and damp, and too much bleached and dried-out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWater\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWater once the pot begins to feel light when lifted; these plants like to be moist, and prefer to be bottom-watered (using a dish underneath rather than pouring onto the soil) to prevent their leaves accumulating damp!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAverage humidity is fine, but your plant will benefit form an occasional misting or humidity tray.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUse a moisture-retentive, well-draining mix to keep this thirsty plant happy but not too soggy.
