Need a plant ID on this purpleish hanging plant..

16 years ago

no labels on it.. well, no specific ones anyways:

and I have it hanging near a window.. only the lower leaves will get direct sunlight (east exposure, lots of stuff in the way of the sun most of the time though).. is that okay?

"Wandering Jew" - Tradescandia zebrina, I believe.
Cuttings of this plant root exceptionally well. My sister gifted me with several
cuttings, which I potted. Twice now, I've cut the plant back to its newest growth
and then put the cuttings into the middle of the pot to promote a fuller look.

Yup, that's it alright. If it starts becoming more green than purple you'll know it wants more light.
