Easy to grow trailing hosueplant!
 
Light: Tradescantia zebrina thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions but prefers filtered sunlight or indirect morning sun. Avoid direct afternoon sun, as it can scorch the leaves.
 
Temperature: Keep Tradescantia zebrina in average to warm room temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) year-round. It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures, but protect it from drafts and cold air.
 
Watering: Water Tradescantia zebrina thoroughly when the top inch or so of soil feels dry to the touch. Water more frequently during the growing season (spring and summer) and reduce watering in winter when growth slows down. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
 
Humidity: Tradescantia zebrina appreciates moderate to high humidity levels. If your home has dry air, increase humidity by misting the leaves occasionally or placing the pot on a humidity tray filled with water and pebbles.
 
Soil: Plant Tradescantia zebrina in a well-draining potting mix suitable for houseplants. A mix formulated for succulents or adding perlite and sand to regular potting soil helps improve drainage and prevents water from sitting around the roots.
 
Fertilizing: Feed Tradescantia zebrina every 4-6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding in autumn and winter when growth slows down.
