Tradescantia ‘Nanouk’

Tradescantia ‘Nanouk’ is a vibrant, trailing plant with striking purple, pink, and green variegated foliage. Its colorful leaves make it a lively addition to shelves, hanging baskets, terrariums, or tabletop arrangements, bringing movement and energy to any indoor space.

Light Requirements

It thrives in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light can cause the colors to fade and the plant to become leggy.

Watering and Humidity

Keep the soil evenly moist, but not soggy. Tradescantia ‘Nanouk’ enjoys moderate to high humidity, making it ideal for terrariums or grouped with other tropical plants. Mist occasionally to maintain vibrant foliage, especially in drier indoor conditions.

Temperature and Fertiliser

Ideal temperatures are 18–25°C. Feed lightly with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during the growing season to encourage compact, healthy growth.

Pet and Terrarium Safety

✅ Non-toxic to cats, dogs, and small reptiles. (Note: Large herbivorous reptiles, like iguanas or bearded dragons, may nibble on the leaves — harmless, but delicate foliage can be damaged.)

Final Thoughts

Tradescantia ‘Nanouk’ is a colorful, low-maintenance plant perfect for adding a pop of vibrant foliage indoors. Its trailing habit and playful colors make it an eye-catching choice for any indoor jungle or decorative terrarium.
