That's pretty funky. I do like a nice coloured leaf. Any idea what variety it is? I have a perfect spot for one of them if it can handle relatively low light conditions.
Brommers-
Actually I came across the care sheet being used as a bookmark the other day, Tradescantia Zebrina. Ours is in a very sunny position but gets plenty of water and once repotted it’s gone nuts.
@hoefla thanks, possibly too happy hence the haircut. And a pic of what it looked like a year ago...! Seller only lives a couple of roads away.

I usually do it a couple of times in the summer but it’s more for a mass repot or cleaning effort - I figure if they’re happy where they live in the house then it’s OK.
I pulled our Tradescantia out of the bedroom today and realised it’s got huuuuge, I might try to propagate half a dozen pieces but I’ve got gardening jobs coming out of my ears.
