How to take care of Tradescantia Sillamontana White Velvet

Sun: Indirect

Place near a sunny window where it gets medium to bright light daily. Insufficient light may cause leggy growth and faded foliage.

Light: Medium - Bright

They enjoy a bit of direct sun but thrive best in bright, indirect light. Morning sun or dappled afternoon light is ideal for keeping the velvet leaves vibrant and healthy.

Water: When mostly dry

Allow the soil to dry out 70–80% between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot—use well-draining soil and pots with drainage holes.

Humidity: Any

Tradescantia White Velvet is not picky about humidity, making it great for average indoor environments. Avoid placing it near heaters or vents.

Pet Friendly: Caution

Tradescantia White Velvet is mildly toxic if ingested. Keep it out of reach of curious pets and kids.

Pro Tip

Pinch back the growing tips regularly to encourage a fuller, bushier shape and prevent legginess. Rotate the plant weekly to promote even growth.

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?

When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!

MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.

Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.

No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
