LIGHT: Bright, indirect light to some direct sunlight; Brighter light will bring out more vibrant colors. While tradescantia can handle direct sunlight, too much may scorch the leaves MEDIUM: Any well-draining and airy mix; we like using a mixture of peat, bark, and perlite WATER: Water when the top 1/3 of the soil is dry FERTILIZER: Use a balanced fertilizer once a month during spring and summer HUMIDITY: Average home humidity of 40-60% PROPAGATION: Cut below a node and remove the lowest leaf. If rooting in water, make sure the nodes are submerged and transfer to your chosen medium once the roots are 1-2 inches long. If rooting in soil or moss, insert the cutting with the node buried. Keep the medium moist. It will root fully in about a week.
