Origin
The Tradescantia Mix is a plant species that originally comes from America. They are part of the Commelinaceae family, also known as the Spiderwort family. In the wild, these plants grow throughout America, from Canada to Argentina. They are named after the 17th-century English gardener and botanist John Tradescant.

Characteristics
Tradescantia Mix plants are known for their unique, colourful leaves. The leaves vary in colour from green to purple, often with stripes or spots. These plants can grow in a hanging manner, making them ideal for hanging baskets. The flowers of the Tradescantia are small and triangular, usually purple, white or pink.

Care
Caring for the Tradescantia Mix requires a space with indirect light or semi-shade. They can withstand fairly dry conditions, but prefer a humid soil. These plants thrive well in average to high humidity and have a moderate need for water. However, overwatering can cause problems such as root rot, so it's important to ensure that the soil dries out between watering.
