Tradescantia cerinthoides

Tradescantia Nanouk

Pink-striped trailers for bright humid shelves — pinch to keep dense.

Nanouk brings candy-striped colour. It likes humidity and brighter shade; in sealed cases it grows fast and needs regular pruning.

Why it works

High-impact colour for keepers who will prune and provide decent light.

Watering notes

Slightly drier than fittonia. Soggy mix leads to stem rot.

Care tips

  • Pinch tips for bushiness.
  • Give brighter light for pink tones.
  • Best in larger vessels.

Common problems

  • Faded colour in shade.
  • Stem rot.
  • Leggy growth.
