Tradescantia 'Duskwell-wrenfeather' care

Collectors know Tradescantia 'Duskwell-wrenfeather' for its steady pace; it keeps a compact rosette even in imperfect corners.

It does best in bright indirect light, though it tolerates brief departures without sulking. It prefers to be watered when the leaves just begin to soften, and it will forgive a missed week far better than a doubled one.

Keep it at a humid corner or grouped planting; pot it in a free-draining cactus-leaning mix and refresh the top layer each spring. Propagation is straightforward from stem cuttings rooted in water.
