_Posted by Mia on 2024-07-13_

Can anyone tell me who this little guy is? He was on sale and there’s no info about him on any of the tags.

The leaves have an almost iridescent quality to them, and the undersides are a deep purple.

Any help would be appreciated!

Tradescantia - maybe a Zebrina?

That looks about right! Thank you!

Definitely a silver inch plant (Tradescantia zebrina). They’re fairly easy to care for. They like a lot of moisture.
