Callisia repens
Bolivian Inch Plant
Please Note:
The most used common name for this plant was "Bolivian Wandering Jew" until recent years. We're no longer using that name, based on recent research regarding potentially anti-semitic origins of the term. Up until recently, we had been under the impression that the name carried a positive or neutral connotation. (i.e. "a resilient plant despite it all") Research seems to point to less-optimistic origins. Some folks have started calling it "Wandering Dude" or "Inch Plant", while others have committed to using the latin name only. In our case, we'll be sticking to the latin name moving forward. ♥ Sources: Merriam-Webster*ext link, gardenstead.com*ext link, house-plant-hobbyist.com*ext link, boomboxclub.com*ext link

Tradescantia fluminensis
Green Inch Plant
Please Note:
The most used common name for this plant was "Green Wandering Jew" until recent years. We're no longer using that name, based on recent research regarding potentially anti-semitic origins of the term. Up until recently, we had been under the impression that the name carried a positive or neutral connotation. (i.e. "a resilient plant despite it all") Research seems to point to less-optimistic origins. Some folks have started calling it "Wandering Dude" or "Inch Plant", while others have committed to using the latin name only. In our case, we'll be sticking to the latin name moving forward. ♥ Sources: Merriam-Webster*ext link, gardenstead.com*ext link, house-plant-hobbyist.com*ext link, boomboxclub.com*ext link

Tradescantia fluminensis
Green Inch Plant
Please Note:
The most used common name for this plant was "Green Wandering Jew" until recent years. We're no longer using that name, based on recent research regarding potentially anti-semitic origins of the term. Up until recently, we had been under the impression that the name carried a positive or neutral connotation. (i.e. "a resilient plant despite it all") Research seems to point to less-optimistic origins. Some folks have started calling it "Wandering Dude" or "Inch Plant", while others have committed to using the latin name only. In our case, we'll be sticking to the latin name moving forward. ♥ Sources: Merriam-Webster*ext link, gardenstead.com*ext link, house-plant-hobbyist.com*ext link, boomboxclub.com*ext link

Some folks have started calling it "Wandering Dude" or "Inch Plant", while others have committed to using the latin name only. In our case, we'll be sticking to the latin name moving forward. ♥ Sources: Merriam-Webster*ext link, gardenstead.com*ext link, house-plant-hobbyist.com*ext link, boomboxclub.com*ext link

Tradescantia zebrina 'Burgundy'
Burgundy Inch Plant
Please Note:
The most used common name for this plant was "Burgundy Wandering Jew" until recent years. We're no longer using that name, based on recent research regarding potentially anti-semitic origins of the term. Up until recently, we had been under the impression that the name carried a positive or neutral connotation.
