TRADESCANTIA ZEBRINA

Tradescantia Zebrina, also known as an Inch Plant, is a popular indoor plant known for its striking, striped foliage and easy-care nature. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you keep your Tradescantia Zebrina healthy and vibrant.

Sunlight

  • Tradescantia Zebrina thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate low light, the vibrant purple and green stripes will be more pronounced with more light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Watering

  • Water your Tradescantia Zebrina when the top inch of soil feels dry. This plant prefers evenly moist soil but is prone to root rot if overwatered. Ensure that the pot has good drainage to prevent waterlogging. Reduce watering frequency during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.

Humidity

  • Tradescantia Zebrina enjoys high humidity levels but can adapt to average indoor humidity. To maintain optimal humidity, consider misting around the plant occasionally or placing it near a humidifier, especially in dry indoor environments.

Temperature

  • This plant thrives in temperatures between 15°C to 27°C. Keep it away from cold drafts, as it is sensitive to sudden temperature changes.
