All the Details You Need to Know

The Story Behind This Plant

Tradescantia Nanouk was originally cultivated in the Netherlands through tissue culture to enhance its color and durability. It's a modern hybrid bred for both beauty and resilience, quickly becoming a favorite for its vivid foliage and adaptability.

How to Keep It Happy
  • Light: Bright, indirect light helps maintain vivid colours. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can burn the leaves.
  • Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
  • Humidity: Adapts well to average indoor humidity.
  • Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix.

We hand pick each Tradescantia Nanouk and pack it carefully so it arrives in good shape anywhere in Ontario or Quebec.

Sun: Direct & Indirect

Consistent, moderate light is ideal for Tradescantia Nanouk. Avoid placing it in low-light conditions, as this can lead to leggy growth and diminished vibrancy in its foliage. On the other hand, too much direct sunlight can cause its leaves to become sunburned or faded.

Light: Medium - Bright

Tradescantia Nanouk prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning or late afternoon, but prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight can scorch its leaves. Aim to provide it with bright, filtered light to keep it happy and healthy.

Water: When half dry

Tradescantia Nanouk prefers evenly moist soil, but it's essential not to overwater it. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out between waterings, and then water thoroughly, ensuring that excess water drains away from the pot. During the growing season (spring and summer), you may need to water more frequently than in the winter months when growth slows down.

Humidity: Medium

While Tradescantia Nanouk can tolerate average indoor humidity levels, it appreciates slightly higher humidity if possible. You can increase humidity around the plant by misting it regularly, placing a humidifier nearby, or placing a tray filled with water and pebbles beneath the pot. However, be cautious not to let the plant's leaves remain wet for extended periods, as this can invite fungal diseases.

Pet Friendly: Caution

Tradescantia Nanouk has moderate toxicity and may induce adverse reactions if ingested by pets. It is advisable to prevent your pets from consuming it, as is recommended for all plants. The severity of the reaction depends on the amount ingested. However, if your pet typically does not show interest in consuming plants, Tradescantia Nanouk can still be a suitable addition to your home.

Pro Tip

During the active growing season in spring and summer, nourish your Tradescantia Nanouk monthly with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer. Although requiring minimal upkeep, occasional pinching of stem tips promotes compactness. Pruning aids in fostering a bushier growth habit and prevents legginess. Ensure ample bright light to sustain the plant's health and deter it from becoming sparse.
