Tradescantia Nanouk

The Tradescantia Nanouk aka Fantasy Venice is a rare houseplant, developed in the Netherlands in 2012 through a planned breeding program. This easy to care for houseplant has stunning leaves variegated with light purple, green and greyish green. Its gorgeous and colourful foliage makes the Tradescantia Nanouk the latest trending houseplant on Instagram.

General

The Tradescantia Nanouk can grow up to a height of just under 3.5 inches.

These cascading plants will make a lovely addition to your hanging baskets or shelves.

The pink, yellow & white flowers usually bloom throughout its growing season (spring-early autumn).

Sunlight

Your Tradescantia Nanouk grows best in bright indirect sunlight or in full sun. Although, too much direct sun can burn their delicate leaves. Hence, the east or west-facing window would make an ideal spot to place your plant.

Bright indirect light will increase flower production. But too little light will cause the variegation of the foliage to fade.

Watering

Water your Tradescantia when the top inch of the soil is dry. A weekly watering would most likely be sufficient.

Your plant will thrive in a humid environment. As such, you can increase humidity by misting it often, placing it near a humidifier, or using a pebble tray.

Soil

Your Wandering Jew will grow exceptionally well in all-purpose soil with a slightly acidic texture. As they like to stay moist, you can consider mixing organic matter in the soil as well. But make sure that the plant is not waterlogged.

Fertilizer

Your Tradescantia Nanouk does not really require a fertilizer. But if required feed it a houseplant fertilizer diluted to half the recommended strength. This can be done once or twice a month.

Toxicity

The Tradescantia is mildly toxic if ingested and not suitable for spaces with pets and children. Also, its sap can be irritating to the skin.

Additional Care

Watch out for common pests like mealybugs and spider mites.

Pruning your plant will make it bushier. Two new shoots will grow from the pinched off stem tip, giving you a much fuller plant.

If your Tradescantia Nanouk isn't getting enough sunlight, it will become leggy. Also, the leaves will be smaller with less variegatio

Troubleshooting

Fading colour of the leaves - This could mean that it's not getting sufficient sunlight - Place your Tradescantia Nanouk near a sunny window or in a steamy bathroom.

Dull and unhealthy appearance - Indicates overwatering - Ensure the soil is moist but not soggy.

Leggy growth - This usually means your plant isn't getting enough humidity or light.
