Growing Guide
Indoor Placement
Position in bright, indirect light to maintain the strongest pink colouring. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, while very low light may reduce the intensity of the variegation.
Watering
Water when the top layer of compost begins to dry. Keep the compost lightly moist during active growth, but avoid leaving the pot standing in water.
Humidity
Average household humidity is suitable, although slightly higher humidity helps maintain healthy foliage. A bright bathroom with natural light is an excellent location.
Feeding
Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser. Reduce feeding during autumn and winter.
Perfect For
- Shelves and bookcases
- Hanging planters
- Bright bathrooms
- Living rooms
- Home offices
Why We Love It
- Bright pink variegation brings colour throughout the year.
- Fast-growing trailing stems create an attractive cascading display.
- Compact size is ideal for smaller spaces.
- Easy to propagate from stem cuttings for even more plants.
Good to Know
Pinching back the growing tips encourages a bushier habit and helps prevent stems from becoming leggy. Remove any plain green shoots if they appear to maintain the colourful variegation.
Note: Tradescantia sap can cause skin irritation in some people and may also irritate pets if chewed, so it is best positioned out of reach of curious cats and dogs.
