Hey everyone 😅

Short version... Very Mismarked plant... So which kind (color) of Tradescantia are these guys?

Long version :

So my husband knows I’ve been on the HUNT for a Moses in the Cradle (Tradescantia spathacea) forever, and he surprised me by bringing some home from Home Depot today. Super sweet.

BUT… I started looking at them closer and now I’m sitting here going... Wait a minute!

So, I asked in a few I'd groups and was suggested to come here after accepting the fact these are Wandering - 😣

Trouble is I've tried about 4 times to keep them alive and aside from a nanouk I kept alive for about 2 years (a gift from a green thumb sister) I have failed every attempt since.

So any idea which tradescantia this one is, I'll keep one of the 4 and try again

“wait a minute…” 👀

Please tell me these are NOT wandering - 😭 because I have somehow managed to kill every single one I’ve ever owned. Like genuinely embarrassing failure rates.

Maybe they’re just babies and haven’t filled out yet?? I’m hoping??
