Tradescantia HubNov 18, 2022

Welcome new mastodon people! I've never actually done an #introduction so here I go.

I'm the International Cultivar Registration Authority for the #Tradescantia genus, which means I research the correct names of all tradescantia cultivars in the world.

I have a living collection of tradescantias and other Commelinaceae plants which I study, and sell cuttings to fund my research.

Ask me to identify your tradescantia plant!

very cool! Do you grow only cultivars (are they generally hybrids or mostly sports?) or do you grow species also?

@cohanf @plants @houseplants I grow pretty much exclusively cultivars. I have a handful of species which I keep as backups for my friend's species collection, but I'll admit they're not my favourites! 😅

@TradescantiaHub @plants @houseplants I do tend to have a special love for species anything, but I'm *much* more open to cool foliage plant cultivars vs ridiculous hybrid flowers 😆
