  • Use in a cluster of trailing plants for a retro-inspired jungle look

  • Easy to style in smaller homes and flats thanks to its compact growth

Tradescantia Purple Passion care guide

Light requirements:
Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant purple tones. In lower light, the colour may fade slightly.

Watering:
Water when the top few centimetres of soil feel dry. Water thoroughly, then allow the soil to dry out again. Avoid leaving the roots sitting in water.

Feeding:
Feed once a month in spring and summer. For best results, use our vegan, organic Original Plant Food to encourage lush and colourful growth.

Humidity:
Enjoys average household humidity but appreciates an occasional misting.

Pet safety:
Mildly toxic if ingested — best kept out of reach of cats and dogs.

Propagation:
Very easy to propagate from stem cuttings. Simply snip a section of vine and root it in water or soil.

Perfect Fit and Great Quality!

I bought this suit set for my grandson, and it exceeded all expectations. The fit was absolutely perfect—true to size and very flattering. The material feels high-quality and well-made, with attention to detail in the stitching and finish. He looked so sharp and felt comfortable wearing it, which made the occasion even more special. Highly recommend this set for any formal event!

Great value
This suit was the cutest for my son’s graduation. He is slim enough to fit a 5 but tall enough for a 6. I did get size 5, it fit good, except the vest was a bit on the smaller side. Luckily my boy is skinny. The quality is great. Definitely get your moneys worth. The only con I have is that this item was definitely worn before & likely returned to Amazon. The shirt was wrinkled and not packaged like a “new item”. It was in a regular plastic. You can see in the photo the wrinkles on the shirt sleeves.

Nice suit
This 5 piece set is really nice Pros: fits true to sz which allows it to sit nicely The pants have adjustable waist bands The color is as described Material/fabric is not that great but will do (select a neutral color which can prevent it from looking cheap) Perfect for a growing boy who will need another one soon Cons: The tie is little short and is a non adjustable elastic the handkerchief/pocket square does not fit in the faux pocket. If you want an elevated look - wear with a different tie, thicker fabric white shirt and nice shoes

Color: Light Champagne, Size: 14, Color: Light Champagne, Size: 14
This suit had me questioning whether the manufacturer had ever actually seen a human child before. The pants were SO long — like they were tailored for a 9-year-old with 100 feet of shin. 😂 I had to hem them significantly just to make them wearable for a normal boy. The bow tie was also a letdown. Ours may have arrived defective, but it only seemed to have one hook with nowhere for it to actually attach, so we ended up improvising with the fabric loop. Not exactly the polished wedding-ready moment I was hoping for. The shirt was probably the highlight. It has a subtle textured pattern that makes it feel a little more unique than a standard dress shirt, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the fabric itself is stiff and not particularly comfortable. Overall, the whole set feels pretty cheap quality-wise. BUT… he’s 9. He’ll outgrow it before the next wedding invitation hits the mailbox anyway. 😂 For one day of looking like a dashing young gentleman instead of a tiny tornado in sweatpants, it got the job done. Just definitely not something I’d recommend for peak summer wedding season unless your child enjoys marinating in polyester.
