Tradescantia 'Ember-viridis' care

Tradescantia 'Ember-viridis' is a forgiving choice for most rooms, developing a compact rosette within its first year.

Position it in morning sun with afternoon shade and rotate the pot monthly for even growth. It prefers to be watered weekly in summer and fortnightly in winter, 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 rich, moisture-retentive mix and refresh the top layer each spring. Propagation is straightforward from stem cuttings rooted in water.
