Probably Nanouk if it’s a lighter purple

I have a couple Tradescantia. A standard zebrina and an Oyster Plant (Tradescantia spathacea) aka Moses-in-the-cradle. Not sure what the connection is between Judaism and these plant names LOL. This looks like your standard Tradescantia zebrina too, also known as silver inch plant or the antiquated wandering j\*w. But I could be wrong as there’s tons. If you google “tradescantia varieties,” there are tons of reference photos like this, which might help.

Well, I guess that just further confirms that I am correct in deciding not to use the term anymore 😆

I heard people weren’t calling it that anymore so I just stopped, but I never researched it

This is my baby I think it's in the same family my spider web cobwort, I got it some cuttings in the mail and I had it in water for a few weeks and it flowered so beautiful and it's so fuzzy and beautiful but then I put it in soil because it said that it wouldn't do good in water for very long.. and it's really not doing good in the soil 😩😭🤦‍♀️💜
