How to grow Tradescantia

1. Soil

When breeding, the soil should be alkaline or neutral, because acidic soil will corrode the roots and affect growth. You can use loam or sandy soil for maintenance. They have good air permeability and water release properties and are not easy to clump.

2. Watering

It likes moisture but is afraid of waterlogging, so during the growing season, it is necessary to replenish water in time and drain the accumulated water, about once in the morning and once in the evening. Water it thoroughly, and be careful not to accumulate water to avoid root rot.

3. Temperature

The most suitable environment is 15 to 25 degrees during the growth period. However, it is also cold-resistant and can safely survive the winter as long as the temperature is not lower than 5 degrees. Pay attention to timely cooling in summer. Temperatures exceeding 32 degrees will affect growth. Usually, you should sprinkle more water to lower the temperature.

4. Lighting

During maintenance, it should be placed in a well-lit place. Only with sufficient sunlight will it grow more vigorously. Otherwise, the whole plant will wilt and become listless, affecting flowering.

5. Fertilization

It does not require much fertilizer, just apply it once every half a month during the growing season, and the concentration should be low to avoid burning the roots and causing withered flowers and leaves.
