You will receive a similar plant to the one photographed and not necessarily the same. If you would like a photo of the exact plant we are sending, just drop us a line! Pots and plants are sold separately unless otherwise specified in the listing.
Fuzzy, adorable, and a little wild, Tradescantia cyanotis somaliensis (often called Pussy Ears) is a unique trailing houseplant covered in soft, silvery hairs. Its leaves shimmer in the light, giving a velvety texture and subtle purple hue beneath. This tough, semi-succulent species hails from East Africa and is perfect for bright windowsills or hanging pots where its stems can spill over beautifully.
Plant Care
Light: Loves bright, indirect light and can handle some morning or late afternoon sun. Too little light will make it leggy.
Watering: As semi-succulents, they don't need loads of water. Water when the top inch of the soil is dry. This plant likes to be moist, but don't overwater. We find bottom watering to be best.
Temperature:15-27°C is ideal, but it can tolerate down to 10°C
Potting:A well-draining and moisture-retaining mix is best. The sandy loam mix is a good fit.
Hot tips: This is an easily propagated plant, which is great as they only have a short life span, so be sure to take cuttings, and your plant will live on forever! The fuzzy coating protects leaves, so avoid misting or wiping them.
Pet Friendly: NOPE
