Tradescantia

(Spiderwort) Pink Paradise

Soft pink stripes running through fresh green leaves: that's the first thing you'll notice about this little trailing beauty. Picture it on a bright shelf or in a hanging pot by the window, with its stems tumbling over the edge and the pink glowing a touch brighter in the morning light. It grows quickly, so a few pinched tips will keep it full and bushy instead of long and leggy. Every trimmed stem roots in a glass of water, which makes this green friend wonderfully easy to share. Start small, and in a few months you'll have cuttings to hand out to friends.

Give it a spot with bright, indirect light, because that keeps the pink stripes vivid and stops them fading back to green. Water about once a week and let the top couple of centimetres of soil dry out first, since soggy roots are the one thing it really dislikes. Normal room temperatures between 15 and 26 degrees suit it well, and it's happy with the usual humidity in your home. Repot into fresh, airy potting soil once a year, when you see roots peeking out of the bottom. Feed it every few weeks in spring and summer, and give it a rest from plant food in winter. If the stems get long and sparse, trim them back and the plant will branch out again. Keep it out of reach of curious cats and dogs, as the sap can irritate skin and mouths.
