# Green colored tradescantia (fluminensis Variegata) has slowly invaded…

_Posted by Sunny on 2024-11-27_

Green colored tradescantia (fluminensis Variegata) has slowly invaded my old nest of tradescantia purple heart. The green colored tradescantia came from a plant that died last summer. A piece probably broke off and rooted on some pine needles. The several days of freezing weather didn’t kill it last winter. This is why tradescantia plants are considered invasive weeds in many warm areas.

Look on the bright side at least you got the green one back and a Buch of new plants.

I’m sure if I potted some of it that it would die like the mother plant!😁

Wait why would it die?
