What variety is this lovely little baby? I can’t figure it out.  
Thank you.

Looks like pink panther turtle vine

### eatyacarbs commented on 2024-10-20

i think lavender tradescantia. i think turtle vine will have purple stems, smaller leaves

### Aisha commented on 2024-10-20

It’s not pink panther. I have one of those. These leaves are a bit bigger.

Tradescantia nanouk?

#### Aisha replied on 2024-10-20

I have one of those as well. This has very similar coloring but the leaves are very much smaller. The closest I’m getting is a Lavender tradescantia, but those leaves seem too pointed. Lol. I’m confused, but that’s what I’ve put it in the app as so… 🤷🏻‍♀️ I guess we’re going with it and if further evidence turns up I’ll adjust accordingly. 😅

Possibly a baby tradescantia cerinthoides ‘pink furry’ ?
