Just keep it around 70%. Water and fertilizer managementTradescantia requires the soil to be slightly moist. Too wet will cause root rot. Generally, it should be watered at least once a month. When watering, pay attention to alternating between dry and wet seasons. Water less in winter. When it is hot and dry, spray water on the leaves frequently. Tradescantia does not have very high requirements for fertilizer, but if you want it to bloom beautiful flowers, you can apply a thin layer of fertilizer appropriately. Generally, liquid fertilizer is applied every 10-15 days in the early growth stage. In terms of seasons, fertilizer should be applied once every half a month in spring and autumn, while no fertilizer is needed in summer and winter.
