    hi, i am trying to identify this plant for my mother. i was told on another forum that it is a tradescantia but did not get any further information about it...

    does anyone know more?

    it is rather large, loves sunlight, does not flower and drops down long spider arms with new babies, about the size of a softball, at the end.

    thank you!

    i have been reading about the callisia fragrans and i am a bit baffled. it says it gives off white, fragrant flowers...

    my mom has been growing these for years and it has never flowered!
