Botanical Name: Tradescantia spathacea

Origin: Mexico and Central America

🌞 Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light. The purple underside coloring is most vivid in strong light. Tolerates partial shade but growth will slow.

💧 Watering

Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Keep soil moderately moist during summer. Reduce watering in winter. Avoid waterlogging.

🌡️ Temperature

Ideal range: 60–85°F (16–29°C). Protect from frost and cold drafts below 55°F (13°C).

🌱 Soil

Use a well-draining indoor potting mix. A mix with perlite or sand works well to prevent root rot.

Remove lower leaves as they age to keep the plant tidy. It naturally cascades in hanging baskets. Fertilize lightly monthly during the growing season.
