Bolivian Jew Plant – Hanging Basket 💜🌿✨

Turn your porch, patio, or sunroom into a jewel-box of color with the Bolivian Jew Plant (Callisia repens variegata). This trailing beauty, native to South and Central America, is cherished for its cascading vines covered in small, jewel-toned leaves of green, purple, and silver. In a hanging basket, it creates a lush, spilling display that feels both exotic and inviting. Historically, plants in the tradescantia family were grown as symbols of endurance and abundance, treasured for their ability to thrive in almost any home.

✨ What It Means

The Bolivian Jew Plant is often seen as a symbol of prosperity, resilience, and harmony. Its vibrant trailing foliage makes it a living reminder that beauty can flow freely into the spaces where family and friends gather.

🌿 Care Instructions

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate partial sun. The more light, the richer the purple tones.

• Water: Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy; allow the top inch to dry slightly between waterings.

• Temperature: Thrives in warm conditions (65–80°F). Protect from frost.

• Fertilizer: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer.

• Maintenance: Pinch back stems to encourage fuller growth and maintain its cascading shape.

🌎 Where It Grows Best

Perfect for hanging baskets indoors or on shaded porches, where its vines can spill dramatically over the sides. In warm climates (zone 9+), it can also be enjoyed outdoors seasonally in containers or beds.

• Boston Ferns: soft green fronds complement its jewel tones.
