Tradescantia Zebrina | Established Starter Plant | 4" Nursery Pot
Description
🌿 Wyrd Plant Co. Care Card
🌞 Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. A few hours of gentle morning sun will enhance the vibrant purple and silver striping. Avoid prolonged harsh afternoon sun.
💧 Water: Water thoroughly when the top 1 to 2 inches of soil are dry. Allow excess water to drain completely and avoid consistently soggy soil.
💦 Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity but adapts well to average household conditions. Higher humidity encourages fuller, more vigorous growth.
🌡️ Temperature: Thrives between 60 and 85°F (16 to 29°C). Protect from temperatures below 50°F.
🌱 Soil: A well-draining houseplant mix amended with perlite for improved drainage.
🌿 Fertilizer: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength.
🐾 Pet Safety: Considered mildly toxic if ingested and may cause skin irritation in some pets. Keep out of reach of curious cats and dogs.
🌎 Difficulty: Easy
