Tradescantia Variegated sillamontana (Variegated Cobweb White Velvet):

Appearance: Tradescantia sillamontana is often referred to as "White Velvet" due to the appearance of its foliage. The leaves are covered in fine, silvery-white hairs that give them a velvety texture. The leaves are typically a pale green color, but the dense covering of hairs gives them a distinctive silvery-white appearance.

Growth Habit: This plant usually has a trailing or creeping growth habit. It forms low mounds of foliage that spread along the ground or cascade over the edges of containers. The stems are relatively thick and succulent.

Flowers: The flowers of Tradescantia sillamontana are relatively small and inconspicuous compared to some other Tradescantia species. They are usually pale pink to lavender in color and have the characteristic three petals that are common among Tradescantia plants.

Care Requirements: Tradescantia sillamontana is generally considered to be a low-maintenance plant. It prefers bright, indirect light but can also tolerate some direct sunlight. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, as overwatering can lead to root rot. Well-draining soil is important to prevent waterlogged roots.

Propagation: You can propagate Tradescantia sillamontana through stem cuttings. Simply cut a healthy stem with a few leaves attached, allow it to callus for a day or two, and then plant it in well-draining soil. Keep the soil lightly moist until the cutting establishes roots.

Indoor vs. Outdoor: Tradescantia sillamontana can be grown both indoors and outdoors, depending on your climate and preferences. If grown indoors, make sure to provide it with enough light. Outdoors, it's often used as ground cover in warmer climates.

Please note that specific care instructions might vary based on your location and growing conditions. If you're interested in cultivating Tradescantia sillamontana, I recommend checking with local nurseries, gardening forums, or online resources for the most up-to-date and region-specific care advice.
