Tradescantia Pallida
$10.00
Bunches of rich purple, lance-shaped leaves make this a beautiful house plant year-round. In the Summer you can expect small, pink 3-petaled flowers to bloom. They grow in the leaf axils, making a stunning contrast to the dark foliage.
Our Tradescantia Pallida are quadruple planted and come in a 13cm hanging pot with a clip in saucer.
Watering- Water Tradescantia Pallida once a week in the warmer months and once a fortnight in the cooler months.
Feeding- A liquid fertiliser once a month in the growing season is all the feed this plant requires.
Lighting- Grow your plant in bright light year-round for good foliage color. It will grow in lower light, but the leaves will be more green than purple. Give it some direct sun, but shade it from hot, noonday sun in summer to avoid scorching its leaves.
