Wandering Jew (Spiderwort)

• Common Name: Wandering Jew (Spiderwort)
• Latin Name: Tradescantia fluminensis; Tradescantia zebrina; Zebrina pendula; syn. Setcreasea, esp. Setcreasea pallida
• Family Name: Commelinaceae

Tradescantia is labelled on some lists as 'mildly toxic' (can cause dermatitis) and on other lists as safe.  As the dermatitis affects humans, we don't feel that there is a significant danger with this plant and so it can be offered to your tortoise, but in moderation and as part of a wider, varied diet.
