Instructions d'entretien

Tradescantia spathacea prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate medium light conditions. It thrives in moderate temperatures and high humidity. Water the plant regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.

Sol

This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil. A mix of potting soil with perlite or sand can improve drainage. Ensure the soil remains moist but not soggy to prevent root rot.

Engrais

Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize monthly during the growing season to support healthy growth. Reduce feeding during the winter months.

Rempotage

Repot Tradescantia spathacea every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Gently remove the plant, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.

Propagation

Propagate this plant through stem cuttings. Take cuttings with at least one node and place them in water or directly into moist soil. Rooting usually occurs within a few weeks. Propagation is best done in spring or early summer.

Taille

Prune the plant to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves and trim back leggy stems. Pruning can be done throughout the year as needed.

Toxicité

Tradescantia spathacea is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. It can cause irritation to the mouth and digestive tract. Keep the plant out of reach of children and pets.
