4” Tradescantia Bubblegum Lilac
🌿Tradescantia is a hardy plant that requires regular, non-fussy watering. Water more often during the summer months to keep the soil moist while you can let the plant dry out slightly from November to March.
🌿
Consider watering from the bottom, or using a self-watering pot instead of watering from the top: waterlogging the plant can increase the chances for problems such as root rot.
🌿 Tradescantia requires a lot of indirect sunlight to grow and thrive—exposure to at least six hours daily is best.
The colorful pigments you see on the leaves will begin to fade if the plant doesn't get enough sunlight; if you notice the colors on your plant are fading, this is a sign that it needs to be moved to an area with more light exposure.
Never place your plant in direct sunlight, as this can cause scorching on the leaves.
