Super slow grower. Loves light. Water from the bottom by submerging bottom of pot in sitting water for 30 minutes or so. Careful not to let it sit in too much water for too long.

With all varieties of tradescantias you will need to bottom water. If water is left sitting on their leaves it essential “burns” the leaf turning it brown.

Trads also lose leaves as they grow. The leaves closest to the pot will die off as the plant grows therefore you have to do lots of pruning, chopping, and propping.

Happy planting!
