Hi there! Welcome! Enjoy this blogpost :)
This is a picture of the Tradescantia Zebrina plant which was formerly called the Zebrina Pendula. It is also called the Wandering Jew plant and comes from the Commelinaceae Family. And It is known for its colorful leaves. This plant originates from Mexico and is very easy to plant and keep as a house plant. It is quite low maintenance and can be found in sunny climates. 3 leaves from this plant, boiled with water until it turns pink will produce steam and a person with hand pain from arthritis can put their hand in the steam to relieve it.
What an interesting fact! Come back for more plant blogposts! :)
