Care Instructions:

• Light: Tradescantia Zebrina thrives in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate lower light conditions. However, to maintain its vibrant colors, brighter light is preferable.
• Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.
• Temperature: Ideal temperature ranges from 60-80°F (16-27°C). Protect it from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
• Humidity: Prefers higher humidity levels but can adapt to average indoor humidity. Misting the plant occasionally can help maintain optimal humidity.
• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix. A standard houseplant mix with added perlite or sand to improve drainage works well.
• Fertilizer: Feed every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.
