Tradescantia somaliensis 'Kitten Ears', commonly known as Kitten Ears or Teddy Bear Vine, is a delightful trailing plant known for its fuzzy, green, lance-shaped leaves that resemble tiny cat ears. Native to Somalia, this species is part of the Tradescantia family but stands out for its velvety texture and compact, low-growing form. The fine hairs covering the leaves give it a soft, silvery appearance and help protect it from intense sunlight and moisture loss.
‘Kitten Ears’ is ideal for hanging baskets, windowsills, or terrariums where its trailing stems can spill gracefully over the edge. It prefers bright, indirect light and well-draining soil, with moderate watering—allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. In ideal conditions, it may produce small, star-shaped purple flowers, adding to its charm. Loved for both its texture and tidy growth habit, Tradescantia somaliensis 'Kitten Ears' is a perfect choice for those who enjoy tactile, pet-safe (non-toxic to humans, but caution with pets is advised) houseplants with a whimsical look.
