Description

Red Tradescantia is a trailing foliage plant with green-to-purple leaves and contrasting pale striping, suitable for baskets and containers. Small pinkish flowers may appear during warm months. In Alabama, position in bright indirect light or morning sun, avoiding harsh afternoon exposure. Water when the upper inch of well-drained potting mix begins to dry; do not keep soggy. Pinch stems for a fuller plant and bring indoors before frost. Propagate from stem cuttings.
