Tradescantia 'Pink Paradise' Basic Care: Easy

Watering: Allow the top 1 inch of soil to dry between waterings. Water thoroughly, but avoid allowing the soil to remain soggy or dry out completely.

Light: Thrives in bright to medium indirect light. Bright light helps maintain the vibrant pink, purple, and silver coloration, while lower light may result in less intense colors.

Soil/Drainage: Use a quality, well-draining houseplant potting mix. Containers should have drainage holes to prevent excess moisture around the roots.

Temperature/Humidity: Prefers temperatures between 60–80°F with average household humidity. It appreciates higher humidity but adapts well to typical indoor conditions.

Feeding: Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding during winter.

Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when the plant becomes rootbound. Tradescantias grow quickly and benefit from occasional soil refreshment.

General Tips: Pinch back stem tips regularly to encourage fuller, bushier growth. Stem cuttings root quickly in water or soil, making propagation simple. Remove any leggy growth to keep the plant compact and vibrant.
