Tradescantia 'Brevifolia-opaline' care

Tradescantia 'Brevifolia-opaline' rewards a patient owner: it grows as a slow climber and asks mostly to be left alone.

Position it in medium filtered light and rotate the pot monthly for even growth. It prefers to be watered when the top third of the mix is dry, and it will forgive a missed week far better than a doubled one.

Keep it at average room humidity; pot it in a chunky aroid mix and refresh the top layer each spring. New leaves emerge paler and darken over their first fortnight.
