Tradescantia Brightness

Dhs. 95.00

Tradescantia (commonly called wandering dude, inch plant, etc.) is a relatively easy-to-care-for houseplant that thrives with proper lighting. Here's what you need to know about brightness and care:

Light Requirements

  • Bright, indirect light is ideal.

  • Too little light: Leaves may lose their vibrant color and become leggy (stretched out).

  • Too much direct sun: Can scorch the leaves, especially in hot afternoon sun.

Best location: Near an east or north-facing window, or a few feet back from a bright south or west-facing window with sheer curtains.


Other Care Tips

  • Water: Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Let the top inch dry between waterings.

  • Humidity: Enjoys higher humidity but tolerates average home levels.

  • Temperature: Prefers 60–80°F (15–27°C)

  • Pruning: Trim back leggy stems to encourage bushier growth.

  • Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix.

  • Fertilizer: Monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
