Stealing the show amongst trailing plants, the Tradescantia Nanouk or Fantasy Venice is a popular plant, sought-after for its colourful patterning and uncomplicated care requirements.
Cultivated as a robust alternative to its sister, the Zebrina, the pick ‘n’ mix of pinks, greens, whites and purples shimmer on almost plaited fuzzy foliage across long trailing stems. Looking good with very little effort, this plant is a welcome colourful addition to any living space.
Please note, some stem and leaf loss is likely to occur during transit and should not cause concern. The plant is very fast growing and will quickly generate new growth.

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.
