Tradescantia fluminensis Variegata Wandering Dude

Variegated Wandering Dude: A Fresh Trail of Striped Leaves

Brighten a shelf with Tradescantia fluminensis Variegata. Its green leaves are striped with pale cream, creating a lively, trailing display that looks lovely spilling over a planter's edge.

• 🤍 Cream-and-green stripes bring a bright variegated look
• 🍃 Small leafy stems create a full, soft texture
• 🌿 Trailing growth suits raised pots and hanging planters
• ✂️ Easy shaping allows long stems to be pinched back
• 🪴 Fresh indoor color pairs well with simple neutral pots

Place this Wandering Dude in a bright, sheltered spot. Pinch back longer stems when you want a bushier display.

Care Tips

Light: Provide bright, indirect light or gentle filtered sun. Protect pale leaves from scorching.

Soil: Use an airy houseplant mix with good drainage and some moisture retention.

Potting: Choose a pot with drainage holes and repot when the roots need more room.

Handling: Sap may irritate skin; wear gloves when trimming and keep out of reach of children and pets.
