For the best coloration and blooming capacity, place this plant in bright indirect sunlight. Be sure to keep its soil moist but not soggy with watering and/or misting. Never water into this plant's crown, as that can rot some of its fleshy stem and leaf tissue.

Here is a colorful and pretty plant that happens to be one of the easiest to grow. Thick stems support Tradescantia fluminensis Nanouk Tricolor’s compact and upright growth. The smooth leaves produce elegant and colorful shades of green, pink, and cream. The leaves have an attractive iridescent look to them, almost sparkling in the light. From spring to autumn, gardeners can expect pink or white flowers.
