String of Turtles - Peperomia Prostrata
Jackie
Adorable

I received my string of turtle today, though I ordered a small one most of the leaves look healthy and happy I kind of wish it had a few more strands but I’m going to work hard to make sure it’s happy and healthy! For winter protection they wrapped it in cotton I’m super happy with all my plants so far!

Stromanthe Triostar

Breathtaking!

The Stromanthe Triostar was the last plant I unwrapped from my second order from mygreenscape.ca. I gasped when I saw this beautiful plant with its long leaves of dark and light pink and green. The underside of the leaves are deep pink. And it has some stripes, especially underneath. She is very healthy and has a few new leaves unfurling. All the plants were packaged up very well. Thanks so much!

ZZ Plant

My ZZ :-)

I'm so happy to have received this ZZ plant. Originally I ordered four plants, then after looking at my order I realized 2 of the same plant was in my cart. So I contacted Mygreenscape.ca and it was just in time as the shipment hadn't gone out yet. So I was advised I could pick another plant so that is how I became a plant parent for my ZZ :-) I'm grateful for the kindness I received -Thank you Imtiaz!
This is a very healthy plant. It's tall with interesting and shiny leaves. So nice to have this plant. Thanks Mygreenscape.ca
p.s. I want to purchase the ZZ Raven with my next order.

How to Care for Tradescantia Indoors

Water your tradescantia when the top 2 cm of soil feels dry. That's usually every 5-7 days in spring and summer. And in winter, stretch it to every 10-14 days. Soak the pot until water drains out the bottom. But don't let the pot sit in a saucer of water. Soggy roots cause quick collapse. Thirsty vines droop slightly. That's your cue.

Common Tradescantia Problems and Quick Fixes

Long bare stems with small leaves mean not enough light. Move the pot closer to a bright window. Or add a simple LED grow light for 10-12 hours a day. Then pinch the tips every 4-6 weeks. So new side shoots fill the gaps and keep the plant bushy.

Pink, purple, and white patterns fading back to plain green? That's a classic low-light signal. Shift your Nanouk or Fluminensis Variegata to a brighter window. And trim off all-green shoots right away. If you leave them, they'll take over the whole plant within weeks.

Brown crunchy tips almost always mean dry air. Canadian winter humidity can drop to 20% indoors. So run a humidifier. Group plants together. Or move the pot to a bathroom with a window. Water with room-temperature water, too. Cold tap water shocks the roots.

Black mushy stems at the soil line point to overwatering. Unpot the plant right away. Trim any soft black roots with clean scissors. Repot into fresh well-draining mix with 30% perlite. And water less often while the plant recovers over 2-3 weeks.

Tradescantia Plant FAQs

Check the soil first. Water when the top 2 cm feels dry. That's usually every 5-7 days in spring and summer. But it drops to every 10-14 days in winter. Always empty the saucer after watering. Standing water causes quick root rot.

Bright indirect light is the sweet spot. A few hours of soft morning sun is fine and actually boosts colour. But harsh afternoon sun in June and July scorches the leaves. So place your plant near an east window, or 30-60 cm back from a south window.

Variegated cultivars like Pink Panther and Bubblegum fade to green when light is too low. Move the plant to a brighter spot right away. And trim off any fully green stems. Those shoots grow faster than the variegated ones and will take over the pot.

No. The ASPCA lists Tradescantia (Wandering Jew) as toxic to cats and dogs. The sap can cause skin irritation and mild stomach upset if chewed. So hang your vines high. Or shop our pet-safe Hoya collection instead if pets roam freely.

Easiest plant you'll ever propagate. Snip a 10-15 cm stem just below a leaf node. Strip the bottom leaves. Pop the cutting in a glass of water, or straight into moist soil. Roots appear in 7-14 days. So one Tradescantia Fluminensis plant can fill every room in your GTA home within a season.
