BeginnerTradescantia albiflora
A tradescantia with beautiful pink-white-green tricolor. Fast growing and easy to propagate by cuttings.
About
Tradescantia albiflora 'Nanouk' is a cultivar developed in the Netherlands, notable for its exceptionally vibrant tricolour foliage of pink, white, and green — among the most colourful of all tradescantia varieties. Fast-growing and trailing, it is well suited for hanging baskets or shelf displays. It thrives in bright indirect light to partial shade; brighter conditions bring out the most vivid pink tones, while insufficient light causes the foliage to revert toward plain green. Water when the soil dries, avoiding overwatering which can cause stem rot. Propagates very easily from stem cuttings. Despite its compact size, the intensely coloured foliage creates a striking visual impact, making 'Nanouk' a popular choice for adding a cheerful burst of colour to indoor spaces.
