Maintain temperatures between 18°C - 24°C. Avoid draughts as these can create undesirable temperature fluctuations. Consider giving your plant an occasional misting twice every week to maintain the optimum humidity level.

| Description | The purple-leaved three-masted flower impresses with its purple undersides of leaves. As a new breed, it really looks great on your windowsill. The beauty that shines green from above is one of the easier-to-care for plants and is therefore also very suitable for beginners. It grows upright and forgives you for one or the other mistake in care. Keep your three-masted flower at room temperature all year round.Choose a bright, warm location, ideally on an east or west window.Water your Tradescantia regularly. Wait until the top layer of soil has dried. You can easily test this with your finger. If the soil still feels a little damp, wait before watering, otherwise give your plant something to drink. Waterlogging must be avoided at all costs! A higher air humidity has a positive effect on the well-being of the plant. |
