Baby Tradescantia Mix Tray – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light. Some varieties can tolerate a few hours of gentle morning sun, but avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can fade the colours.

Watering

Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Water when the top 2–3 cm feels dry. Tradescantia are fast growers and prefer consistent moisture during the growing season. Reduce watering slightly in winter.

Temperature and Humidity

• Temperature: Prefers 18–28°C; protect from cold draughts.

• Humidity: Adapts well to household humidity but benefits from occasional misting, especially for variegated or pink-leaved types.

Soil and Potting

Use a free-draining, peat-free potting mix. Repot as young plants establish, spacing them into small pots or planters where they can trail or clump naturally.

Feeding

Feed every 2–4 weeks in spring and summer with a diluted, balanced fertiliser to support healthy, colourful foliage.

Pruning and Maintenance

Pinch out growing tips regularly to encourage bushiness and prevent legginess. Tradescantia cuttings root easily in water or soil, so pruned pieces can be propagated effortlessly.
