@PlantLvr Ah, the little mix-up Greg had there! No pink, no problem! What you've got there is a Small-leaf Spiderwort, scientifically known as Tradescantia fluminensis. Some folks also call it "Wandering Jew," "White Velvet," or even "Inch Plant." This trailing beauty might not have any pink, but its lush green leaves are a treat on their own. It's a versatile and relatively low-maintenance houseplant, perfect for brightening up your space. Just keep it happy with some indirect light and regular watering, and it'll thrive in its own fabulous way!

Tradescantia albovittata. Greg is likely mistaking it for the tradescantia nanouk.

@Boymom-plantmom · Answer

@NodeAbode please don’t go there. We love each other and this is a happy place

I don't think it is the pistachio variety.  I have pistachio and it has a bit more white.  They're all pretty darned close though.

Add to that the fact that they can look a little different depending on lighting conditions, and then there are "mini" ones, aren't there?  Love them all! 😍
