Tradescantia zebrina, commonly known as the inch plant or wandering jew, is a popular houseplant celebrated for its vibrant, variegated leaves featuring shades of green, purple, and silver. This fast-growing plant is native to Central America and Mexico and is cherished for its striking appearance and ease of care.

Care Requirements

Light Needs:
Tradescantia zebrina thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, particularly in the morning or evening, but prolonged exposure to harsh midday sun may scorch its leaves. Optimal lighting ensures the plant maintains its colorful variegation.

Growth Characteristics

Tradescantia zebrina typically grows 12 to 24 inches long, developing long, trailing stems that look stunning in hanging baskets or on shelves. Regular pruning encourages bushier growth and prevents legginess; pinching back the tips of the stems promotes branching.

Fertilization

During the growing season (spring and summer), it benefits from regular feeding with a diluted balanced fertilizer every 2-3 weeks to support lush foliage growth.

Propagation

This plant is easy to propagate through stem cuttings, which can root quickly in water or soil. Simply cut a few inches from a healthy stem and place it in water until roots develop before transferring it to soil.

Toxicity

Tradescantia zebrina is considered non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe choice for households with children or animals.
