🌿 Plant Care Tips

Tradescantia pallida 'Purple Heart' is a stunning plant known for its vibrant purple foliage and trailing growth habit. It's a popular choice for adding a splash of color to indoor spaces and looks fantastic cascading from shelves or hanging baskets.

Native to: Tradescantia pallida 'Purple Heart' is native to the Gulf Coast region of eastern Mexico, where it thrives in warm and humid environments.

Water: Water your Tradescantia pallida 'Purple Heart' when the top 3 cm of soil is dry. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, as this plant prefers to be kept slightly on the drier side between waterings.

Light: This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, the purple coloration will be more vibrant and pronounced with sufficient light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Humidity: Tradescantia pallida 'Purple Heart' does well in humidity levels of 60% to 80%. Maintaining this humidity range can be achieved by using a humidifier or placing the plant on a pebble tray with water. In most homes, especially during the growing season, ambient humidity should be adequate.

Temperature: Keep the temperature between 18°C and 24°C for optimal growth. This plant is sensitive to cold and should not be exposed to temperatures below 10°C. Consistent warmth will help maintain its vibrant colour and overall health.
