Tradescantia is a fast-growing plant with vibrant leaves in shades of green, purple and silver. Whether you place it in a hanging pot or let it trail over a shelf, this plant adds instant colour and movement to your space!

Origin

Tradescantia originates from the tropical regions of North and South America. In the wild, it grows as ground cover or trails down trees and rocks.

Care

Light

Loves bright, indirect light. A bit of morning sun is fine, but avoid harsh afternoon sun which can dry or fade the leaves.

Water

Water regularly to keep the soil lightly moist, but don’t let it sit in water. Allow the top layer to dry out between waterings.

Humidity

Does well in normal indoor humidity. In dry rooms, a light misting now and then will keep it fresh and happy.

Toxic?

Tradescantia is mildly toxic if ingested and may cause skin irritation. Best to keep it away from pets and young children.

With its cheerful foliage and fast-growing habit, Tradescantia brings a playful splash of colour to any home!
