Tradescantia 'Nanouk'

Tradescantia Nanouk 🌸🌿 is loved for its chunky trailing stems and striped leaves in pink, green, cream, and purple, giving it a bright, playful look that stands out fast. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where the color stays strongest and it can spill beautifully from shelves, hanging planters, or decorative pots. This is a generally easy plant that grows quickly and handles average indoor care well, as long as it is not kept too wet. Pro tip: if the color starts fading or the stems get leggy, move it closer to brighter light and trim it back ✂️ for fuller growth.
