Description
Tradescantia Pink Panther
 
Habit
Compact, creeping and trailing plant with small leaves produced densely along fine stems.
 
Growth Rate
Fast under warm, bright conditions.
 
Placement
Best suited to shelves, hanging pots, smaller planters and anywhere the stems can trail over the edge.
 
Leaf Size
Very small foliage that remains compact as the plant grows.
 
Light
Bright indirect light is best for maintaining strong pink and cream colouring. Lower light can result in greener growth and longer spaces between leaves.
 
Water
Allow the soil to dry well between waterings. The fine roots and stems are sensitive to staying wet for too long.
 
Soil
Rays Retail Nurseries Premium Aroid Mix
 
Feeding
Light feeder. Feed lightly during active growth. Grab some Novion before checkout.
 
Humidity
Average household humidity is sufficient.
 
Sensitivities
Sensitive to overwatering and insufficient light. Older stems can become bare or untidy over time and benefit from regular trimming.
 
Pet Safe
Best kept away from pets. Plants in the Tradescantia and Callisia group may cause irritation if chewed or if sap comes into contact with sensitive skin.
 
Rays Says
"Give Pink Panther plenty of light if you want to keep that colour. Don’t be scared to trim it either. Regular pruning keeps it dense and bushy instead of turning into a few long, scraggly vines."
