Quick Care Guide

Care Difficulty: The inch plant is easy to care for.

Light requirements: Tradescantias likes bright but indirect sunlight. But too dark a spot will cause the colours on the leaves to fade and become leggy.

Watering: Allow the soil to dry out a little between waterings. In winter, reduce watering to avoid root rot.

Humidity: While preferring a humid environment, Tradescantia can tolerate average room humidity. Often rooms such as the bathroom or kitchen can have higher humidity.

Toxicity: Toxic to humans and pets

Feeding: Enjoys a feed during spring and summer, don’t feed during winter.

Repotting: The inch plant will need repotting roughly once a year. Check to see if roots are coming out of the bottom, however, if your plant looks healthy and isn’t rootbound there is no need to re-pot.
