Instructions d'entretien

Tradescantia pallida is relatively easy to care for. It prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight. Keep the plant in moderate temperatures and maintain average humidity levels. Water the plant when the soil is almost completely dry, and avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

Sol

Tradescantia pallida prefers well-draining soil, such as a loam-based mix. Ensure the soil dries out almost completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Good drainage is essential for the plant's health.

Engrais

Fertilize Tradescantia pallida with a balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer every 4-6 weeks to support healthy growth and vibrant foliage.

Rempotage

Repot Tradescantia pallida every 1-2 years or when the plant outgrows its current container. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.

Propagation

Tradescantia pallida can be easily propagated through stem cuttings. Take cuttings from healthy stems, remove the lower leaves, and place the cuttings in water or directly into soil. Roots should develop within a few weeks, and new growth will follow.

Taille

Prune Tradescantia pallida regularly to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any leggy or damaged stems, and trim back overgrown areas. Pruning can be done throughout the growing season.

Toxicité

Tradescantia pallida is toxic to pets, particularly cats and dogs. Ingestion can cause mild to moderate gastrointestinal upset, including vomiting and diarrhea. The sap can also cause skin irritation in some individuals.
