Origin
The Tradescantia Brightness is a type of plant originally from the New World, specifically North and Central America. The plant is named after John Tradescant, a 17th century English gardener and collector. This plant species is part of the Commelinaceae family, also known as the dayflower family.

Characteristics
The Tradescantia Brightness belongs to the group of hanging plants. The plant is characterised by its long, thin, pointed leaves, which hang on long stems. The leaves have a variegated colour scheme, which varies from green to purple, depending on the light conditions. This plant is also known by the name Tradescantia Fluminensis 'Quicksilver'.

Care
In terms of care, the Tradescantia Brightness prefers a semi-shady placement. The plant requires regular watering but cannot tolerate waterlogging and thrives best in well-drained soil. In winter, when growth stops, the water supply can be reduced. It is important to protect the plant from direct sunlight, as this can fade the leaf colour. The plant also requires regular feeding, especially during the growing period.
