Tradescantia fluminensis ‘Variegata’ is a beautiful and relatively easy-to-care-for houseplant, known for its vibrant variegated leaves.

Tradescantia Fluminensis 'Variegata'

Here’s a breakdown of Tradescantia fluminensis ‘Variegata’ care requirements:

Light:

  • Bright, Indirect Light: This is ideal. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light can cause the variegation to fade, and the plant to become leggy.
  • Some Direct Sun: It can tolerate some morning or late afternoon sun.
  • Low Light Tolerance: While it can survive in lower light, its growth will be slower, and the colors will be less vibrant.

Watering:

  • Keep Soil Moist, Not Soggy: Water when the top layer of soil feels dry.
  • Well-Draining Soil: Use a potting mix that allows for good drainage to prevent root rot.
  • Frequency: Watering frequency will vary depending on the light and temperature conditions. Water more frequently in warmer, brighter conditions.

Humidity:

  • Average Humidity: Tradescantia fluminensis ‘Variegata’ can tolerate average household humidity.
  • Increased Humidity: It will appreciate higher humidity, which can be provided by misting, using a humidifier, or placing the plant on a pebble tray with water.

Temperature:

  • Average Room Temperatures: It prefers temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C).
  • Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Protect it from drafts and extreme temperature fluctuations.

Fertilizing:

  • Regular Feeding During Growing Season: Feed with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer during spring and summer.
  • Reduce or Stop in Fall and Winter: Reduce or stop fertilizing during the dormant season.

Propagation:

  • Stem Cuttings: Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Simply place cuttings in water or moist soil until roots develop.
