Tradescantia Zebrina (Wandering Dude)

Tradescantia Zebrina, also known as Wandering Dude, is a captivating Inch Plant. It showcases a stunning two-tone green color on the top of its leaves with a silver shimmer as light hits it and a striking purple underside. 🌿 This fast-growing plant is versatile, thriving in both pots (even without drainage) and garden beds. 🌸

Care Instructions:
🌞 Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light but can adapt to lower light conditions. It is highly adaptable and can take direct sun for about 6-8 hours, but too much intense light may cause leaf burn.
💧 Watering: Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering. Yellowing leaves can be a sign of too much water. Tradescantia stores water in its hardy stems, making it drought-tolerant. If you experience yellowing or brown spots, let them dry out.
🌡️ Temperature & Humidity: Thrives in temperatures between 60-85°F (15-29°C) and adapts well to normal household humidity levels. Protect from frost.
🪴 Soil: Use well-draining potting soil. A mix of regular potting soil and perlite or vermiculite works well.
🌿 Fertilization: Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength. Little fertilizer is needed, but a light spring feeding ensures a healthy plant all year long.
✂️ Propagation: Easy to propagate from stem cuttings. Simply cut a section below a node and place it in water or moist soil to root.
🌿 Pruning: Regular pruning encourages a bushy and compact shape. Trim back leggy or overgrown stems to promote new growth.
🚫 Pet Safety: Not pet-friendly. Keep out of reach of pets as it is mildly toxic if ingested.

👍 Low Maintenance: Ideal for busy individuals or new plant owners. One of the easiest house plants to care for.
🌈 Aesthetic Appeal: Adds a vibrant touch to any indoor or outdoor space with its unique green, silver, and purple foliage.
