TRADESCANTIA ASSORTED 6in

Prepare to be charmed by the Tradescantia, a delightful and incredibly versatile houseplant that brings a cascade of color and texture to any indoor space! Often known by its charming common names like "Inch Plant," "Wandering Jew," or "Spiderwort," Tradescantia varieties boast a stunning array of leaf colors, from vibrant greens and deep purples to striking pinks, silvers, and creams, often with iridescent qualities. Its trailing habit makes it absolutely perfect for hanging baskets, allowing its colorful stems to spill gracefully, or for adding a trailing element to a shelf or windowsill display. Most Tradescantia remain quite manageable, with trails typically reaching 2-3 feet, though they can be trimmed to maintain your desired length and bushiness.

Tradescantia truly flourishes in bright, indirect light. A spot near a sunny window that doesn't receive harsh, direct afternoon sun is ideal. Plenty of bright light helps to maintain the intensity of its vibrant leaf colors. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, the colors may appear less vivid.

Now, for those with pets, please be aware that Tradescantia is considered mildly toxic to pets if ingested. While typically not life-threatening, it can cause skin irritation, especially around the mouth, and gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting or diarrhea. It's wise to place your Tradescantia where curious cats and dogs cannot easily reach it.

When your Tradescantia needs a new home, always use Watters Potting Soil to ensure excellent drainage, which is crucial for preventing root rot. To encourage vigorous growth and the most dazzling leaf coloration, feed your plant regularly during its active growing season with Urban Gardener's Super Growth Elixir or Fertilome's All Purpose Houseplant Food. You'll be amazed at how quickly this beauty grows and how much cheer it adds to your home!
