Know before you buy
This is a fully rooted plant, not a cutting. It arrives established in its pot, which helps ensure a smoother transition to your home environment.
To maintain its vibrant pink and purple variegation, place this plant in bright, indirect light. Too little light can cause the plant to lose its color and become leggy.
No, the Tradescantia Nanouk is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best kept in a location that is completely inaccessible to curious cats or dogs.
You should keep the soil evenly moist, but not waterlogged. Check the top inch of soil regularly and water when it begins to feel slightly dry to the touch.
Yes, its natural trailing growth habit makes it an excellent choice for hanging baskets. It also looks great on high shelves where its stems can cascade downward.
