💡 Joe's Top Tip
Bright, indirect light keeps the pink and cream variegation at its best. Pinch out the growing tips regularly to encourage bushier growth and prevent long, sparse stems.
⚠️ Common Mistake
Most people struggle with Tradescantias by growing them in low light, which causes faded colours and leggy growth. Overwatering can also lead to stem rot.
