Tradescantia Sweetness

A compact, candy-striped houseplant bursting with colour and charm, Tradescantia ‘Sweetness’ features glossy leaves streaked in pink, green, and cream. Its trailing habit makes it ideal for hanging planters, high shelves, or adding a playful pop of colour to mixed plant displays. Fast-growing and forgiving, it’s one of the easiest ways to brighten any corner with living colour.

Plant Care 

Light: Bright indirect light, can tolerate lower light, but won't grow as well or give you as many lovely colours. The Nanouk can also tolerate a bit of direct sun but not too much or you risk scorching the leaves. 

Watering: Water when the top inch of the soil is dry. This plant likes to be moist but don't overwater. 

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 Thirst Trap mix is a good fit. 

Hot tips: Tradescantia 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!
