Since I live in Maine, I have only had this plant indoors, and it did exceptionally well! You can break off pieces and put in water to re-root and have lots of plants. It will climb around your room in the house, it's a very beautiful plant. F&W!

Not sure either, People have told me it was also called, Moses Cradle

This plant is wonderful inside or out. There are three kinds of Wandering Jew, including this one. Yes, some ppl call it Moses' Cradle. It's bc the way the leaves are shaped, kind of boat-shaped. The others are: green and white striped leaves with purple underneath the bottom side; and the other one is green and white striped leaves with silver/white on the bottom side, a variation of the afore-mentioned one. I'm not sure how it's related to the solid purple one. Have fun! =D
