These gorgeous, slightly more rare beautiful variegated pink fluminensis 'Tricolor' plants are the most beautiful (in my opinion) of the Tradescantia family! If you keep it happy, it will bloom beautiful small pink or purple flowers thatw ill last just one day :)
SMALL 2" pot
MEDIUM 4" pot
LARGE 6-10" pot (depending on species)
SOIL: loose and moisture-retaining (always pot with a drainage hole so the plants do not sit in water)
LECA: Yes, but they are best rooted in moss!
Moss/Water Prop: Yes, but with a full plant, this method is not needed! :)
LIGHT: Bright, indirect light. Remember, these are tropical plants that are used to getting indirect light from under a tropical canopy! Make sure you don't use direct light for too long- the plant will dry up and you could lose leaves! East or west facing windows are best :)
WATER: They do not like to be sitting in soaking wet or bone dry soil for too long- keep an eye on it and make sure you have fast-draining soil in a pot with drainage holes, then water often!
HUMIDITY: Can live okay in light humidity, but will thrive in high humidity! (Tropical plants!) Pro tip- a humidifier is good for both you and your plant!
PRUNING: These can quickly get leggier, so if you want a more compact/bushy plant, trim trim trim!
REPOT: Rate of growth determines how often you need to repot!
-A NOTE ON SHIPPING-
I am a one-woman show pursuing my passion projects of mycology, herbology, and botany, within both my business and my YouTube, while maintaining a full-time job in clinical research. All plants are shipped 2-day priority, and I tend to take them to the post office on Mondays or Tuesdays. Please do allow for 3-10 business days for processing. I want to ensure your planty babies are well-cared for, well-packaged, and not hastily shoved into a box. Shoot me a message at info@lorelune.com if your order is time-sensitive! Thank you for your understanding in advance :)
