Tradescantia Care Sheet
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Tolerates some direct sun, which enhances leaf colour, but too much can scorch.
- Water: Water when the top of the soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering – stems may rot in soggy soil.
- Soil/Nutrition: Use a well-draining potting mix. Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced fertiliser.
- Humidity: Adaptable to most indoor humidity levels. Avoid misting directly onto the fuzzy leaves.
- Pruning & Propagation: Pinch back to encourage bushiness. Propagates easily from stem cuttings in water or soil.
- Experience level: Beginner-friendly
