Taking care of your Tradescantia Nanouk

Watering:

Light to moderate – Keep soil lightly moist during active growth; allow the top layer of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as this may lead to root rot.

Use:

Ideal as a trailing indoor plant or for hanging baskets, shelves, desks, and window sills; adds vibrant colour and texture to indoor or shaded outdoor areas.

Position:

Prefers warm, sheltered conditions with moderate humidity; protect from cold drafts and frost.

Light:

Bright, indirect light enhances leaf colouring and variegation. Too little light may cause the plant to become leggy and reduce colour intensity. Avoid harsh direct sunlight which can scorch the foliage.

Foliage:

Evergreen with thick, lance-shaped leaves striped in shades of green, white, pink, and purple on compact trailing stems.

Flowering:

Produces small pink to white three-petaled flowers occasionally, though mainly grown for its bold decorative foliage (SA).
