Temperatures TradescantiaSole pieno
Let's grow the the Tradescantia in a luminous place, with direct sunlight. We suggest locating the vases in a pretty bright place, although avoiding direct sunlight, which could damage the foliage.Let's grow the the Tradescantia outdoors; they can bear very harsh minimum temperatures, even when many degrees below zero.

Care Tradescantia
The Tradescantia has a panel-like development, therefore it tends to widen very much. This plant in the summer assumes a white colouring; it is small in size and can reach 60 cm high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter. These plants are perennial herbs.

Feed Tradescantia
During the spring let’s regularly use a fertilizer rich with nitrogen and potassium to favour the development of the new vegetation; fertilization is done by adding fertilizer to the irrigating water, every 15-20 days.

Irrigation TradescantiaTenere Umido
Water when the ground is dry; in case of prolonged droughts water very often, otherwise every 1-2 weeks can be enough using 2-3 glasses of water ; avoid water stagnations and excessive watering. It is advisable to water the plants avoiding to leave water in the saucer, because stagnant water often develops fungal diseases.

Adversity Tradescantia
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture.

Substrate Tradescantia
Cultivate in a good soil of an average mix, which slightly withholds humidity.
