Houseplant Size Guide
At Houseplant.co.uk, we want to ensure that you choose the perfect plant for your space. Here's how we measure our plants:
Plant Height:
Measured from the base of the nursery pot to the top of the plant, including the full length of the stem and foliage.
Pot Size:
Refers to the total width across the top of the pot.
Choosing the Right Size
To find the perfect fit, compare the diameter of your plant's grow pot to the opening diameter of your chosen decorative pot. Ensure the decorative pot is at least 1-3cm larger in diameter than the grow pot for easy insertion and removal.
Important Notes
- Plant sizes are approximate and include the depth of the plant pot and roots, not just the height from the top of the soil.
- If a specific plant size is not available, we may provide a larger plant at no additional cost to you.
- All of our plants, unless otherwise stated are supplied in a nursery pot with the exception of air plants or lucky bamboo or otherwise listed in the product description.

Collapsible content
What is the Wandering Dude Quadricolour Known For?
The Wandering Dude Quadricolour, scientifically known as Tradescantia Fluminensis, is a show-stopper with its striking multicoloured leaves. The hues of pink, white, green, and purple create an eye-catching display that can brighten up any living space. The plant's trailing nature makes it a perfect choice for hanging baskets or as a stunning ground cover.
What Is the History of the Wandering Dude Quadricolour?
The genus Tradescantia was named in honour of John Tradescant, a 17th-century English naturalist and gardener. The Fluminensis species is native to South America but has been cultivated in various parts of the world for its ornamental appeal. The Quadricolour variant is a cultivar celebrated for its intricate colouration and versatility in interior design.
Where Does the Wandering Dude Quadricolour Originate?
The original species, Tradescantia Fluminensis, hails from South America, particularly the regions around Brazil and Argentina. Its natural habitat consists of subtropical and tropical forests, which gives you an idea of the plant's preferred growing conditions—humid and warm, but out of direct sunlight.
Are Wandering Dude Quadricolour Toxic to Pets?
It's important to note that the Wandering Dude Quadricolour is not pet-safe. If ingested, it can cause mild to moderate symptoms of poisoning in pets such as vomiting, salivation, or, in rare cases, skin irritation. Always place the plant out of reach if you have pets in your home.
