Product Description
The Tradescantia Zebrina is a colourful trailing plant native to Central and South America. In the wild, it grows as ground cover beneath the canopy of tropical forests, where its purple-green leaves create a striking colour contrast.
Care & Tips Tradescantia Zebrina – 20 cm
The Tradescantia Zebrina is a strong, fast-growing houseplant that is very easy to care for. It produces long, hanging stems with beautiful glossy leaves showing shades of green, silver and purple. Trim the ends of the stems occasionally to encourage fuller growth, and remove old or withered leaves so the plant can use its energy for new growth.
Water Requirements Tradescantia Zebrina – 20 cm
The soil of the Tradescantia Zebrina should stay slightly moist. Allow the top layer of soil to dry out briefly between waterings. Too much water can cause root rot, so make sure the drainage is good. During winter, the soil can be a bit drier.
Light Requirements Tradescantia Zebrina – 20 cm
The Tradescantia Zebrina loves plenty of light. The more light it receives, the more vibrant the leaf colours become. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. A bright spot with filtered daylight or partial shade is ideal.
Is the Tradescantia Zebrina – 20 cm toxic?
The Tradescantia Zebrina is slightly toxic if ingested, so keep it out of reach of pets and small children.
