Good light helps maintain the strongest silver and purple colouring, while plants kept in lower light may become greener and more stretched. Avoid prolonged harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWatering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow the upper 1–2cm of compost to dry before watering thoroughly, then let excess water drain away.

Reduce or stop feeding during winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePruning \u0026amp; Keeping It Full\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegularly pinch or trim longer stems to encourage branching and keep the plant dense and bushy. Tradescantia naturally grows quickly, so occasional pruning helps prevent the centre of an older plant becoming sparse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf any shoots revert to plain green, remove them to help preserve the strongest silver-striped growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEasy to Propagate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTradescantia zebrina is extremely easy to propagate from stem cuttings.
