Tradescantia Fluminensis Quadricolor

Tradescantia fluminensis ‘Quadricolor’ is admired for its delicate, painterly foliage that looks almost hand-brushed with color. Each leaf is a unique blend of creamy white, soft pink, vivid green, and occasional deep purple, creating a multicolored tapestry that shifts with light and new growth. The leaves are small, glossy, and slightly succulent, catching light in a way that enhances their variegation.

Its trailing habit gives it a graceful, flowing appearance—perfect for hanging baskets, shelves, or cascading arrangements. New growth often emerges blushed with pink, adding a fresh, youthful vibrancy. The overall effect is elegant, whimsical, and artful, making the Quadricolor one of the most visually striking forms of Tradescantia.

Thrives in bright, indirect light. Can tolerate lower light conditions but prefers ample light for optimal growth

keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.

Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

Considered toxic to pets if ingested. Keep it out of reach of cats and dogs or opt for pet-friendly alternatives if you have furry companions.

Tradescantia helps filter common indoor pollutants, contributing to a healthier living environment.

Blozem Hints🪴

🌿Watch that watering! Overwatering this plant can cause root rot and fungal infections. Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out between watering.

🌿A bit green around the gills! If your plant doesn’t get enough light, it will lose its bright pinks and purples, appearing greener.

🌿Pinch out the tips and dead leaves to create a bushier plant. Older leaves brown and die-off as they age, remove these to keep the plant looking fresh.
