Know before you buy
This variety thrives in part-sun to no-sun conditions. While it is adaptable to lower light, providing bright, indirect light will help keep the green and white variegation vibrant and prevent the stems from becoming too leggy.
Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. It is best to water in the morning, allowing the plant to hydrate throughout the day, and ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot.
Yes, the Tradescantia 'Sanna' is considered an easy-care plant. Its trailing habit and tolerance for various indoor light conditions make it a low-maintenance choice for those new to houseplant care.
While categorized as an annual, Tradescantia can often be kept as a long-term houseplant if provided with consistent indoor temperatures and adequate light. You may need to prune it occasionally to maintain its shape and encourage fuller growth.
The Tradescantia 'Sanna' comes in a 12-inch hanging basket, which is a generous size that allows the trailing foliage to cascade beautifully right out of the box.
