Tradescantia sillamontana aka Velvet Plant

Tradescantia sillamontana, also known as the White Velvet plant, is a perennial evergreen herbaceous plant of the genus Tradescantia. This species is one of the most succulent and xerophytic and is endemic to dry areas of the State of Nuevo León in northeastern Mexico, but can also be found in Spain and Italy. Tradescantia sillamontana has a very recognizable and distinctive appearance with leaves arranged in a precise geometric shape. The plant is covered in almost completely white hairs which protect it from direct sunlight and excessive evaporation. The shoots and stems can reach a height of 30–40 cm, first erect, later prostrate and rooting at the soil surface. During the summer, the flowers appear at apical growth points or in the axils of the bracts; these are typical Tradescantia flowers with a corolla consisting of three bright purplish-pink to purple petals and three small sepals. The White Velvet plant is an exceptionally easy plant to care for and rewards growers with delightful purple blossoms. They are extremely easy to propagate by stem and one plant can give rise to dozens of new ones, which makes them great for sharing. 🤝 However, their succulent leaves make them sensitive to frost, so be sure to bring them indoors if your winter temperatures dip below freezing.
