I’m Avery Rowe (they/them), I run the Tradecantia Hub and this shop – I’m an independent researcher and tradescantia specialist in the UK.
My main area of interest is the cultivation history of tropical tradescantias. I’m the international cultivar registration authority for the genus, and I maintain the first ever official cultivar checklist.
I hold the National Plant Collection of tender Tradescantia cultivars, and I have a constantly-growing range of other tropical Commelinaceae.
Part of holding a collection is propagating and distributing plants, which I do through this shop. The money from sales helps fund my research and ICRA work, which I don’t get paid for! You can also support me by contributing via Patreon.
You can also arrange a 1:1 call with me to ask questions or get your plants identified, and join the community forum to chat with other Commelinaceae fans.
