The Rhoeo Plant (Tradescantia spathacea) is a striking and easy‐care foliage plant, now offered in a convenient bare‑root form and bundled as a pack of 3. With its vibrant, sword‐shaped leaves often showcasing rich green tops and deep purple undersides (or variegation in some cultivars), it adds a bold splash of colour and texture to gardens, patios, or indoor spaces. Because it is sold bare root, it’s lightweight for shipping and ready for you to pot into your preferred container or garden bed. This plant is ideal for friends and enthusiasts who want three individual specimens and appreciate both appearance and simplicity.

Key Features:

• Type: Bare‑root foliage plant; bundle of 3 identical plants

• Height: Typically reaches 20–40 cm when mature, with width spreading into clumps

• Foliage: Long, lance‑shaped leaves; often green on top and rich purple beneath; variegated varieties may include cream or pink stripes

• Ideal Placement: Works well as indoor decorative plant, patio container, groundcover in shaded beds or as an accent in mixed plantings

• Growth Habit: Clumping, compact, and manageable; forms a bold rosette of foliage

• Versatility: Good choice for both indoor and outdoor use (in warm or protected climates)

Plant Care:

• Watering: Water regularly during establishment. Once established, allow soil to slightly dry out between watering—avoid soggy soil to prevent root rot.

• Soil: Prefers well‑draining, fertile soil. If planting in pots, use a mix with good drainage.

• Light: Thrives in bright indirect light to partial shade. Some direct morning sun is acceptable; avoid very intense afternoon sun that may scorch leaves.
