Cultivation methods and precautions of Tradescantia

Tradescantia is a relatively easy plant to grow. It prefers a warm and humid climate and does not have very high requirements for soil and growing environment. It can grow well with ordinary garden soil.

How to grow Tradescantia

1. Soil

Tradescantia does not have very high requirements for soil, but it is best to have loose, breathable and fertile soil. You can add appropriate sandy soil and humus soil to it, which is more suitable for its growth.

2. Watering

For the Tradescantia that has just been repotted, you need to water it thoroughly once, and then place the plant in a well-lit place for maintenance. Water it when the soil is dry and wet.

3. Fertilization

After the Tradescantia is familiar with the situation at home, you can use some bean cake fertilizer for it appropriately. This can increase nutrients and promote leaf growth.

4. Temperature

Tradescantia prefers a warm growing environment. The most suitable growth temperature is around 15-25℃. Temperatures that are too high or too low are not conducive to its growth. Be sure to ventilate the plant more during summer care.

5. Lighting

Tradescantia loves light. In an environment with sufficient light, the leaf color of the plant will change and its ornamental value is very high, but do not expose the plant to strong light.

Precautions for the maintenance of Tradescantia

Tradescantia needs to be repotted in the spring of every year. Replace the potting soil with a more suitable one and add some rotted manure to the soil, so that Tradescantia can grow more healthily.
