Tradescantia 'Borealis-quieta' care

Collectors know Tradescantia 'Borealis-quieta' for its steady pace; it keeps a trailing habit even in imperfect corners.

Position it in bright indirect light and rotate the pot monthly for even growth. Water weekly in summer and fortnightly in winter. Yellowing lower leaves almost always mean too much, not too little.

Aim for a humid corner or grouped planting and use standard mix cut with a third perlite — roots here want air as much as water. New leaves emerge paler and darken over their first fortnight.
