I grow those! Now I have no idea what the PC name for them is. (Which is weird because the Wandering Jew is basically mythology, nothing against Jews.)
Various types of plants are called by the common name “wandering Jew”, apparently because of these plants’ ability to resist gardener’s attempt to prevent them from “wandering over the earth until the second coming of Christ” (see Wandering Jew (disambiguation) § Plants). In 2016, to avoid anti-Semitism, the name “wandering dude” to describe Tradescantia has been proposed in an online plant community by Pedram Navid, instead of “Wandering Jew” and “silver inch plant”.[83] [84][85][86]

The name has, for good reasons, fallen out of fashion. “Inch plant” is what I’ve heard recently.
