Light: Tradescantia plants prefer bright, indirect light. They can also tolerate some direct sunlight, but too much can scorch their leaves.
Water: Water your tradescantia plant regularly, but allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering can cause root rot and other problems.
Soil: Tradescantia plants prefer well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. A good potting mix for these plants should be light and porous.
Fertilizer: Feed your tradescantia plant every 2-4 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Do not fertilize in winter when the plant is dormant.
Temperature and Humidity: Tradescantia plants prefer warm temperatures and high humidity. They can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, but avoid exposing them to cold drafts.
Propagation: Tradescantia plants are easy to propagate by stem cuttings. Simply cut a stem with several leaves and root it in water or a well-draining potting mix.
Pruning: Trim back leggy or overgrown stems to promote bushy growth and prevent the plant from becoming too straggly.
