Description:

It is a fast growing succulent, which over time assumes a hanging or ground cover habit. It produces numerous purple colored stems, on which flat, ovate, dark green leaves grow, that are streaked with creamy yellow lines on the upper surface, and are of a purple color on the lower surface. When grown in a pot, Tradescantia fluminensis creates beautiful cascades of different colors; growing outside, it tries to occupy all the available space, expanding horizontally; it makes this plant perfect for decorating any type of environment, both external and internal.

Plant care:

It likes very bright spaces, which guarantees the optimal variegation of the leaves, but it is preferable to avoid direct sunlight.

It resists well even at very high temperatures; at the same time, it does not like temperatures below 10 °C.

In summer it needs the soil to be always moistured (for example, by spraying the leaves), while in winter it is preferable to let the substrate dry well.

A substrate for cactacea, combined with sand is an optimal solution, as it facilitates drainage.

They do not need frequent fertilizations, it is enough to dilute fertilizer with watering once a year.
