The Tradescantia Gibasis Jose Puig has gorgeous deep purple leaves lined by a vibrant green - each pot has several cuttings in and will create fill out in no time!
These trailing plants are prolific growers, which makes them an ideal plant for sharing with friends! Simply trim the last few inches of your Tradescantia, place the cuttings in fresh soil or water and they will develop roots and double in size in no time. Alternatively, allow your Tradescantia to fill its own pot and overflow the sides with long, hanging tendrils.
Care:
Light: Bright, indirect light maintains the most colourful leaves and stops the plant getting spindly. Will also tolerate medium light.
Water: During growing season water regularly, wait until the soil is about 2/3 dry before watering again. For best results water from underneath with the use of a saucer to reduce the chance of root rot.
Food: Feed lightly during the growing season but not during the winter.
Humidity: Tolerates normal inside humidity but an increased humidity will create a fuller, happier plant.
