Plant Care
Watering:
Tradescantia 'Nanouk' prefers consistently moist soil, but not waterlogged. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. The frequency of watering will depend on factors such as humidity, temperature, and the size of the pot. In general, water more frequently during the warmer months and less frequently during the cooler months. Be careful not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot. We recommend measuring the moisture of the soil with a moisture meter.
Light:
Tradescantia 'Nanouk' prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light can cause the plant to become leggy and lose its vibrant colors. A good spot for this plant is near a window with filtered light, or in a room with bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in a location with harsh, direct sunlight.
Fertilizing:
Tradescantia 'Nanouk' benefits from regular fertilization during the growing season, typically from spring to fall. Use a balanced, water-soluble or liquid fertilizer every two to four weeks, or as directed on the package. Avoid overfertilizing, as this can lead to salt buildup in the soil.
Repotting:
Tradescantia 'Nanouk' can be repotted every one to two years, or as needed when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one, with drainage holes at the bottom. Use a well-draining potting mix and gently remove the plant from its current pot, being careful not to damage the roots. Place the plant in the new pot, and backfill with soil. Water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain away.
