Tradescantia fluminensis sometimes called also a wondering sailor or inch plant, is an easy-to-care-for plant that is perfect for beginners. It thrives in bright, indirect light and would thrive in terrariums or vivariums!

Tradescantia is very fragile and although we pack our plants with care sometimes you may receive this plant with some damage. Insert the broken stem into a container with moss or water and you will have another plant!

Not Pet Friendly

How should I care for my Tradescantia Fluminensis to ensure it thrives?: Place your plant in a spot with bright, indirect light and water it regularly, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Can the Tradescantia Fluminensis be used in a terrarium?: Yes, this plant is well-suited for terrariums or vivariums due to its preference for humid environments and its ability to thrive under indirect light.
What should I do if my plant arrives damaged?: If any stems are broken during shipping, simply place the damaged piece in a container with moss or water. It will readily root, giving you an additional plant.

Authentic Photos of Our Plants: We take every photo you see, showcasing the actual plants we offer. Each plant is selected randomly unless otherwise stated, adding a touch of surprise to your order.

Natural Variations Make Each Plant Unique: No two plants are the same. Differences in size, leaf count, and minor cosmetic imperfections are part of their charm and individuality, making your plant truly one of a kind.

Healthy Plants, Always: While we can’t guarantee an exact match to the photos, we promise to send only happy, healthy plants that are well-cared for and ready to thrive in your space.

Let Your Plant Settle: Allow your new plant to adjust to its surroundings for 1–2 weeks before repotting, propagating, or making any major changes. This settling-in period reduces stress and helps your plant flourish.

Shipped-in Trusted Potting Mix: Our plants are delivered in a standard grower’s potting mix. When you’re ready to repot, choose from our premium-quality mixes designed specifically for aroids, succulents, and terrariums, available in our shop.

Expert Guidance on Repotting: I’m unsure if it’s time to repot. Check out our article, When to Repot Your Plant, for expert advice on keeping your plant healthy and happy.

Support for Climbing Plants: For Monstera, Philodendron, and Syngonium, add one of our handmade sphagnum moss poles and a watering drip cup. These accessories encourage natural growth, support larger leaves, and keep your plants neat and upright.

Simple Care at Your Fingertips: Every plant includes plant care instructions, and you can scan the QR code on the nursery pot to access detailed guides. For additional help, our Moss Bot is available 24/7 on the website to answer your plant care questions.

Complete Your Plant Setup: Browse our selection of stylish planters, precision pruning tools, watering tools, full spectrum grow lights, eco-friendly pest treatments, organic plant food, and efficient watering accessories. Everything you need for a thriving plant collection is just a click away.
Sustainably Packed with Care: Your plant will arrive safely, packed with reused and environmentally friendly materials. While we take great care to prevent damage, some fragile plants may experience minor leaf loss during transit—but don’t worry, your healthy plants will grow back.

Perfect for Every Plant Parent: Whether you’re just starting your plant journey or have a home filled with greenery, our products and accessories are designed to help you succeed.

We had a wonderful visit for my daughter’s birthday and were delighted with our little gardens! Such a gorgeous shop, lovely folk and a great workshop. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back and will hopefully do the terrarium workshop soon! Thank you for the most lovely birthday treat!
