Oyster Plant (Tradescantia spathacea ‘Rhoeo’)

Oyster Plant, often called Rhoeo, is a bold, easy-care plant known for its striking, sword-shaped leaves with deep green tops and rich purple undersides. The foliage grows in a tight rosette, creating a compact, sculptural form that adds strong contrast and color to any space. Some varieties may also show subtle striping or lighter tones along the leaf surface.

Tough and adaptable, this plant is a great option for bright indoor spots or as a colorful accent in mixed planters.

Care Tips:

🌫 Humidity: Adapts well to average household humidity
❄️ Temperature: Thrives in warm indoor temps (65–85°F); avoid cold drafts
🐾 Pet Friendly: No

Fun Fact:
The name “Oyster Plant” comes from the small white flowers that appear tucked inside boat-shaped bracts, resembling an oyster shell 🌿✨
