The Tradescantia Tenderness is absolutely stunning!
Recognised for its delicate, soft-hued leaves that blend pastel greens and whites, its trailing stems look fantastic in a hanging basket or cascading over a shelf.
This eye-catching plant thrives in bright, indirect light and is known for its rapid growth and low maintenance.
The botanical name of this variety is Tradescantia cerinthoides, which is not prohibited, unlike the fluminensis cultivars.
General Care Guide
Lighting - Tradescantia can tolerate anything from indirect light to lower light conditions, but is happiest somewhere in between. Just be weary of direct sun, as this may cause the leaves to burn.
Watering - In general, they don't mind having slightly wetter soil than other plants, but allow to dry at least 80% before re-watering.
Soil - When it comes time to re-pot, use a well draining, all-round soil mix, such as our GrowingGreen House Plant Mix.
Fertiliser - We recommend feeding every time you water using a fertiliser, such as GT Foliage Focus to help your plant thrive!
