9. Tradescantia Zebrina (Wandering Jew)

Let me tell you about the plant that basically redecorated my bedroom overnight—Tradescantia Zebrina, also known as Wandering Jew. The first time I saw one, I thought, “Wait… plants can do that?” Those striking purple and silver striped leaves look like they were painted by someone who really loves drama—and I’m here for it.
I bought mine on a whim at a weekend plant market in Chicago because it was too cool-looking to pass up. And guess what? It completely changed the energy of my space.
Fast-Growing Greenery That Doesn’t Mess Around
If you’re looking for something that makes an impact fast, this is your plant. It’s fast-growing, and within weeks of bringing mine home, I had vines spilling everywhere. No waiting months for lushness—this thing goes from “meh” to “magical” in no time.
It’s perfect if you’re into DIY crafts and plant-based decor, because you can trim it, propagate it, and use the cuttings in little glass bottles or woven baskets around your room.
My Secret Weapon for Instant Bedroom Makeovers
One of the things I love most is how much personality it brings to any bedroom style. Whether your vibe is minimalist, boho, or somewhere in between, the Tradescantia Zebrina adds a splash of fun without feeling forced.
I have mine hanging above my dresser, and every time the light hits those leaves just right, it feels like my room got a mini glow-up. Like, interior design magic but with zero effort.
Easy to Style, Even Easier to Love
I keep mine in a simple hanging planter near a bright window and let the vines drape down. You can also tuck it onto a shelf or pair it with other indoor hanging plants for a fuller look.
And get this—it actually looks great in low light too. So even if your room doesn’t get buckets of sun, this plant will still bring the color and texture you crave.
