Product number : 4TRZEBP10
DescriptionSpecifications

Origin
The Tradescantia zebrina 8/tray, also known as the Zebrina-pendula, is originally from Mexico. After being discovered by the Spanish conquistadors, it spread to the rest of Central America and eventually across the global. It grows both in the wild and in gardens, as well as in indoor environments such as offices and houses.

Characteristics
The Tradescantia zebrina 8/tray is an evergreen perennial. Its most distinctive feature is its purple and green leaves, which look like a zebra, hence its name. These leaves are oval in shape and grow on long, sloping stems. The plant can reach up to 6 metres high in the wild but generally stays smaller when grown in pots.

Care
The Tradescantia zebrina 8/tray is quite easy to care for. It likes a spot with indirect light and requires moderate watering. However, be careful not to over-water as this can cause root rot. This plant prefers well-draining soil and can survive both indoors and outdoors, but it needs to be protected from frost. Periodic fertilisation during the growing season will help its health and growth.
