Tradescantia 'Nanouk' (sometimes called Fantasy Venice) is a relatively new and highly sought-after variety of wandering jew or inch plant that has become extremely popular among houseplant enthusiasts for its striking appearance. Compact, bushy growth habit with spectacular variegated foliage with pink, green, and white striped leaves. Thicker, more succulent-like leaves than traditional wandering jew plants that produce small purple flowers when happy.
