Here is my Purple Heart Tradescantia that I found on the floor of one of the big box stores. It is currently in perlite. I have found many varieties of tradescantia, they are always broken off and fallen from their pots, an easy prop to lift, if you will.
I saw a monstera at HD that was broken off from the mother plant. In fact, there was no mother plant or pot from which it was obvious it came from. This was at the very beginning of my house plant journey around September 2025, where monsters, Alocasias and Caldiums all looked the same to me.
I approached a sales clerk and I told them about what I found. I asked if I could take it and they said yes. This is her today.
