Oou

perfect in pink 💗

let’s talk about this Tradescantia Nanouk 😍 (swipe right to see her in her full, pink beauty!)

through the web, i was able to purchase this pretty girl last fall. i thought it would be overkill to place her pink leaves (front and back) in a pink pot, but i’m soooo glad i did! here’s how i take care of her:

she likes a lot of bright, indirect light; it’ll make her leaves stack more closely and be more appealing if that’s your vibe! don’t put her in direct sunlight tho. 🙈 she’ll vine and crawl her way toward the light, resulting in bigger leaves and more fun structures (as you can see)!

i water her when i notice the soil is definitely dryyy! because she doesn’t have a drainage hole, i don’t want to overwater as it won’t go anywhere, and likely cause root rot. it’s interesting to have to constantly check in on a plant, but she deserves all the attention. 😂💕 she’s also less sensitive to humid conditions given that she has thiccc leaves. 💁🏽‍♀️

#tradescantia are super easy to propagate as well! ✂️ i believe they have rhizome growth within their stems that allows this process to be straight forward. after cutting her stem below where nodes would grow on a pothos, you can stick the plant directly into soil and it’ll start the growth process! depending on which tradescantia your working with, water propagation may be needed first, but not with Miss #nanouk !

happy #wednesday y’all!
