4″ Tradescantia Albiflora Albovittata

Albiflora Albovittata translates to “white flower, white belt” probably for the varying sizes of white stripes on the minty, pale green leaves, and the sweet little, brilliant white, three-petaled flowers that show up on stem tips, cupped by the newest baby leaves.This cultivar of Fluminensis is also known as “giant inch plant”, a reference to the idea that many Tradescantia leaves in general are one inch apart on their stems. The leaves also wrap around the fat, juicy stems, hugging them instead of being borne on petioles (or little stems). This variety has fatter stems than most Tradescantias and roots super fast, like all the wandering jew plants. After filling up the pot with nice fat stems and leaves, Albo trails nicely down and away.
