I know I post about her a lot. Because I can’t get over how dark the purple is one her! It is so beautiful! But also why is the top not as dark?

Beautiful!😍

this is not tradescantia zebrina but rather tradescantia ‘nanouk’. almost all members of this genus though are darker underneath the leaves than on top

Ok I will update it!

how do you keep your stems from falling over? mine are so top heavy that if i don’t hold it up she flops right over 😭

Mine do the same thing, except for this one is just my newest addition so it’s tiny enough that it’s easy enough to prop on the window.
