This plant is ideal for growing indoors due to its hardy nature and the relative ease with which it can thrive in most indoor conditions. As long as you will give it a good amount of filtered light and prune it regularly, you will enjoy your Tradescantia for many years.
Watering: It's a hardy plant that requires regular, non-fussy watering. Water more often during the summer months to keep the soil moist while you can let the plant dry out slightly in the winter months.
Sunlight: Tradescantia requires a lot of indirect sunlight to grow and thrive—exposure to at least six hours daily is best.
Toxicity: The sap in the leaves can be irritating, so make sure to wash your hands after handling the leaves or wear gloves when you touch them. It is considered mildly toxic when ingested, so you want to keep it out of reach of any pets.
