4″ Tradescantia Velvet Stripe

The Tradescantia Velvet Stripe has soft, fuzzy leaves striped in purple and green, a plush texture that sets it apart from smoother leaved Tradescantias. It trails nicely from a shelf or hanging pot.

Care: Bright, indirect light keeps the colours vivid, low light will cause it to fade toward plain green. Keep the soil lightly moist, watering when the top inch feels dry, and pinch back leggy stems to keep it full.

A note for pet owners: Tradescantia can be mildly irritating if chewed or if the sap touches skin, so it’s best kept out of reach of curious pets.
