Tradescantia fluminensis | Small-Leaf Spiderwort | 10 Seeds

Description: Tradescantia fluminensis, commonly known as small-leaf spiderwort or inch plant, is a fast-growing, trailing perennial native to South America. It has glossy, ovate leaves that are dark green with a slightly purplish underside, growing on fleshy, creeping stems. The plant produces small, white, three-petaled flowers, though it is primarily grown for its attractive foliage. T. fluminensis thrives in warm, humid environments and prefers partial to full shade, making it an excellent choice for ground cover in shaded gardens or as an indoor plant. It prefers moist, well-drained soil but can tolerate periods of drought. However, it can become invasive in some regions, spreading rapidly through its stems, which root wherever they touch the soil. It is easy to propagate through cuttings, making it popular in containers or hanging baskets for its cascading growth habit. Zones 9-11 Germination Germinating Tradescantia fluminensis seeds can be a slow process, but with the right conditions, it’s achievable. Start by sowing the seeds in a well-draining seed-starting mix, lightly pressing them into the surface. Do not cover the seeds too deeply, as they need light to germinate. Maintain a warm temperature between 70-75°F (21-24°C) and keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Using a plastic cover or humidity dome can help retain moisture and warmth. Germination may take 2-6 weeks, so patience is key. Once the seedlings have developed a few true leaves and are sturdy enough to handle, they can be transplanted into individual pots or directly into the garden in a shaded, moist, well-draining area.
