Tradescantia should be grown in a room with a low air temperature.
In which pot should Tradescantia grow
Place a centimeter to one and a half layer of drainage at the bottom. Choose pots that are not too deep, but wide.
This form is optimal for the plant’s root system.
Tradescantia also looks impressive in hanging flowerpots.
How to grow
The most suitable temperature for this plant is +25 °C; it cannot fall below +10 °C.
Tradescantia grows well in regularly ventilated areas. Like many plants, Tradescantia loves light.
Where does Tradescantia like to grow
Tradescantia loves light, especially its variegated types. Solid green ones will grow well in partial shade.
The optimal location of the plant is windows facing east and west.
To protect the leaves from burns, the flower needs to be shaded from direct sunlight.
Garden Tradescantia loves moisture, so take watering more seriously during dry periods. By autumn, watering is reduced.
When the flower stalks have completely faded (late autumn), they are removed, and the plants themselves are mulched with peat and covered with spruce branches.
What Tradescantia doesn't like
Do not water Tradescantia with cold and hard water.
It should be settled, soft, and at room temperature.
During the dormant period, watering is reduced.
The main rule is that the earthen clod should not be allowed to dry out.
