Vibrant Foliage Meets Low-Maintenance Care
The Inch Plant is a vibrant, easygoing houseplant loved for its striking foliage and cascading growth. Its leaves shimmer with silver and green stripes over deep purple undersides, creating a beautiful contrast that instantly livens up any room. Fast-growing and adaptable, it makes an eye-catching addition to shelves, windowsills, or hanging planters.
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers evenly moist, well-drained soil. With a little care and occasional pruning, it stays lush and full, rewarding you with long trailing stems that add movement and depth to your space.
The Inch Plant isn’t just beautiful—it’s also forgiving and easy to propagate. A few stem cuttings in water or soil quickly root into new plants, making it a favorite among both beginners and experienced indoor gardeners who love to share their greenery.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant in a container with drainage holes. Be sure to place it in an area that receives indirect sunlight.
2. Watering: Use your finger to check the surrounding soil's moisture level, about 2 or 3 inches down. Water your plant when there is a full two inches of dryness from the top of the soil.
3. Pruning: Remove dead or damaged foliage to encourage healthy growth.
