Tradescantia ‘Pistachio’

Tradescantia ‘Pistachio’

Add a refreshing pop of green to your indoor space with the Tradescantia ‘Pistachio’!

Known for its striking, variegated leaves featuring vibrant green and creamy white stripes, this unique plant makes a beautiful addition to any home.

The elongated, slightly arching foliage gives it an elegant and whimsical look, perfect for brightening up a shelf, table, or plant stand.

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight to maintain its bold variegation. Avoid direct sunlight, which may cause leaf burn.

• Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and reduce watering in winter when the plant’s growth slows.

• Humidity: Thrives in higher humidity levels. Mist occasionally or place near a humidifier to keep the leaves lush.

• Temperature: Ideal range is between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Protect from cold drafts or temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) for optimal growth.

Styling Tips:

Place this Tradescantia in a decorative ceramic or glass pot to highlight its foliage. Its trailing nature makes it perfect for plant stands or hanging planters where it can cascade gracefully.

Pair it with other low-light tolerant plants or contrasting textures, like a snake plant or pothos, for a lush, layered look.

The ‘Pistachio’ also does well in plant arrangements, adding a touch of brightness to any ensemble.
