Tradescantia Pallida 'Purpurea', also known as Purple Heart or Purple Queen, is a stunning and resilient houseplant that adds a touch of drama to any indoor space. With its vibrant purple foliage and trailing habit, this Tradescantia variety is popular among plant enthusiasts. 

Light Requirements: Tradescantia Pallida 'Purpurea' thrives in bright, indirect light. Place your plant near a window with filtered sunlight, where it can receive a few hours of the peaceful morning or afternoon sun. While it can tolerate some direct sunlight, be cautious as excessive exposure can lead to leaf burn.

Temperature and Humidity: Maintain a moderate room temperature between 18°C and 24°C (65°F and 75°F). The Tradescantia Pallida 'Purpurea' adapts to different humidity levels but generally prefers average to high humidity. Consider using a humidifier or placing a tray filled with water near the plant to increase moisture in drier environments.

Watering: Water it thoroughly, allowing the top inch of the soil to dry out before watering again. It is essential to avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Aim to keep the soil slightly moist but not waterlogged. Adjust your watering frequency based on the season and environmental conditions.

Soil and Potting: Tradescantia Pallida 'Purpurea' thrives in well-draining soil. Use a high-quality potting mix that allows excess water to drain freely. You can also add perlite or sand to enhance drainage. Repotting is typically necessary every one to two years or when the plant outgrows its current container.

Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Follow the instructions on the packaging for the correct dilution ratio. Avoid fertilizing during the dormant winter period.
