Description
Bolivian Jew is a compact, trailing tropical foliage plant with small green leaves and contrasting purple stems. Its cascading habit makes it useful in hanging baskets, terrariums, and indoor planters; small white flowers may appear in summer under favorable conditions.
Growing in Alabama
Provide bright, indirect light and a loose, well-drained potting mix. Water when the top inch of soil begins to dry, then let excess water drain away. It appreciates humidity but adapts to typical indoor conditions. Pinch growing tips to encourage branching, and feed lightly during active spring and summer growth. Keep it out of cold drafts and bring outdoor baskets inside before frost.
Size: Trailing stems can reach about 12 inches tall and spread around 24 inches. Best uses: Indoor hanging baskets, shelves, and sheltered summer patio containers.
