Pink Stripe Spiderwort
About Pink Stripe Spiderwort
This cultivar of Tradescantia is an exceptionally easy plant to care for and might surprise you with some of their delightful blossoms. They are extremely easy to propagate by stem and one plant can give rise to dozens of new ones, which makes them great for sharing. 🤝 As houseplants they often trail, but will also creep along the ground if grown outdoors. Their succulent leaves make them sensitive to frost, so be sure to bring them indoors if your winter temperatures dip below freezing. ❄️

How to fertilize Pink Stripe Spiderwort

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Pink Stripe Spiderwort after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I just moved this guy and added more dirt/fertilizer. He doesn’t seem to be doing well. I had him on a windowsill that got hot afternoon sun but through a high sun filtering shade but I think it’s still too hot. Any suggestions? #PinkStripeSpiderwort

Moses was looking very handsome. His tips are now brown. I repotted him in a pot that drains. I sat a diffuser close for humidity. Today his leaves were droopy. I checked the soil and it was dry, so I added water. What am I doing wrong? #MosesInTheCradle

Lobotomy Update 🐸☕️ Hello, I missed the Lobotomy the Great update yesterday, forgive me I’m on day 2 of 3 day colour correction! (I’m a hair stylist!) this being said, Lobotmy also got a hair cut! All the cuts I made slowly dried out and just kinda slpit off at the node, now she looks so much better with her new hair cut! 💇🏻♀️ How does this plant keep looking better and better every 12 hours I check on it! 🥲 Go Lobotomy Go! 🌱💚 #lobotomythegreatupdates #lobotomythegreat #PurpleHeart #purpleheartplant
