Tradescanti Variegated $30

Indoor Tradescantia Plant Care

Tradescantias are native to the Americas from southern Canada down to South America. They like bright, indirect light, moist soil, and high humidity.

Variegated variations like the Tradescantia Zebrina, Tricolor, or Nanouk can lose their pink variegation and turn solid green for different reasons.

Pink coloration often fades when the plant grows in insufficient light. It can also happen when it is too hot or too cold for the plant to grow its variegated leaves.

When the plant does not have the right conditions, it will revert to growing solid green leaves because it is trying to save its energy. Growing those beautiful variegated patterns costs a lot of energy it just doesn’t have.
