Care & tips Tradescantia Jewel Red hanging plant - 25 cm
The Tradescantia Jewel Red hanging plant is easy to take care of. However, the Tradescantia Jewel Red is sensitive to excessive watering. We advise you not to give the plant too much water. Is the plant growing to one side? Then turn it a little every day without moving the plant. In this way, the Tradescantia Jewel Red hanging plant gets the same amount of light on the leaves all around. In the summer months, the Tradescantia Jewel Red may receive some extra plant food for some extra nutrients.
Water requirements Tradescantia Jewel Red hanging plant - 25 cm
The soil of the Tradescantia Jewel Red hanging plant prefers to be slightly on the dry side, rather than the wet side. In the beginning, we recommend giving the plant small amounts of water several times rather than a large amount all at once. This way you avoid an excess of water that the plant cannot handle. In summer, the plant's water needs are often higher because it also consumes more moisture. Ficus can appreciate a regular spray on the leaves. Is your plant repotted? Then always use a moisture meter or water gauge!

If you give the Tradescantia too much sunlight, the leaves will turn brown.
