20 - 25cm Tradescantia Nanouk Houseplant 15cm Pot
Tradescantia Nanouk, also known as Fantasy Venice, is a beautiful and popular houseplant with eye-catching pink and purple leaves. Here are some care tips to help you keep your Tradescantia Nanouk healthy and thriving:
Light: Tradescantia Nanouk prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but the color of the leaves may not be as vibrant. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
Water: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Do not let the soil completely dry out between watering, but avoid overwatering as it can lead to root rot.
Humidity: Tradescantia Nanouk enjoys high humidity. You can increase humidity by placing a humidifier near the plant or by placing a tray of water near the plant. You can also mist the leaves regularly to help increase humidity.
Temperature: Tradescantia Nanouk prefers warm temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). Keep the plant away from drafts and cold windows.
Fertilizer: You can fertilize the plant once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Do not fertilize during the dormant season (fall and winter).
Repotting: Tradescantia Nanouk can be repotted every year or two as it grows quickly. Use a well-draining soil mix and a pot that is one size larger than the current pot.
Pruning: You can pinch back the stems to encourage bushier growth, and remove any yellow or damaged leaves.
Pests: Tradescantia Nanouk is generally not susceptible to pests, but can occasionally be affected by spider mites or mealybugs. Inspect the plant regularly and treat any pests promptly with an appropriate insecticide.
Soil: Tradescantia Nanouk prefers a well-draining soil mix that is rich in organic matter. You can use a mixture of peat moss, perlite, and potting soil to create a soil mix that is well-draining and nutrient-rich.
Following these care tips will help your Tradescantia Nanouk thrive and stay healthy.
