Tradescantia Nanouk Care Tips
Caring for your Tradescantia Nanouk is pretty easy that even a new plant parent can do it. Follow our guide on how to care for your Tradescantia Nanouk, from sunlight requirement to common problems and its solutions.
Sunlight
First, on our list on how to care for your Tradescantia Nanouk is to provide it with bright, indirect sunlight or full sun since this leads to greater flower production.
Common Problem: If the color of the leaves of your Tradescantia Nanouk is fading, this could mean that it’s getting too little sun.
Solution: Place your Tradescantia Nanouk near a sunny window or in a steamy bathroom. If your Tradescantia Nanouk isn’t getting enough light, it will become leggy. The leaves will also be a bit smaller with much more green and less variegation.
Water
Next on our list on how to care for your Tradescantia Nanouk is to water it when the top inch of the soil is dry. Usually, once a week is enough. Plus, it depends on the type of light your plant is receiving. It’s important to keep the soil moist, but avoid overwatering it since it can lead to root rot.
Common Problem: If your Tradescantia Nanouk looks dull and unhealthy, it could be from too much water.
Solution: One of the most common mistakes of beginners or new plant parents is giving the plant too much water. Your Tradescantia Nanouk should only be watered once a week. Keep the soil moist but not soggy.
Some houseplants can be sensitive to salts in tap water, so it’s best to use distilled water or a water filtration system. However, if this is not possible, leave the water in an open container overnight.
Humidity & Temperature
Adding to our list on how to care for your Tradescantia Nanouk is to put it in a room with a bit more humidity since it will grow best in a humid environment. In case you want to increase the humidity, we suggest that you mist it often, place it near a humidifier, or use a pebble tray.
Tradescantia Nanouk prefers room temperature, between 75°F during the day and around 55°F during the night.
Toxicity
Tradescantia Nanouk is considered poisonous or toxic to kids, people, and pets. Keep pets away from the sap as it can cause dermatitis and stomach upset if ingested.
Food
Another on our list on how to care for your Tradescantia Nanouk is to feed it once or twice a month with houseplant fertilizer diluted to half the recommended strength. Avoid over-fertilization since it can lead to brown leaf tips. Make sure the soil is damp before applying fertilizer.
It’s important to follow the prescribed amount of fertilizer and schedule to avoid fertilizer burn or plant burn.
