Tradescantia ‘Pale Puma’ brings a soft, velvety texture and moody purple-green color to a bright spot indoors. Its pointed, softly fuzzy leaves grow along stems that may spread or trail with time. Foliage color and fullness vary naturally with light and growing conditions.

Size and what ships

One live Tradescantia ‘Pale Puma’ in a 4-inch nursery grow pot. Exact plant height, fullness, and stem length at shipping vary. With care, stems may lengthen and trail beyond the compact plant delivered.

Care guide

  • Light: Give bright indirect light to maintain strong color and compact growth. Gentle morning sun may be suitable, but avoid harsh afternoon sun.
  • Water: Water thoroughly when the upper inch of potting mix feels dry, then let excess drain. Avoid keeping the pot soggy and reduce frequency during cooler, darker months.
  • Soil: Use a loose, well-draining potting mix in a pot with drainage.
  • Temperature and humidity: Keep in warm indoor conditions away from frost and hot vents. Average household humidity is suitable; avoid leaving fuzzy foliage wet for long periods.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly with diluted balanced houseplant fertilizer about once a month during active spring and summer growth if needed; reduce in winter.
  • Pruning: Pinch or trim growing tips to encourage a fuller plant and remove aging stems as needed.
  • Propagation: Root stem cuttings containing a node in water or lightly moist potting mix.

Pet safety

Tradescantia can irritate pets if chewed or contacted. Keep the plant out of reach of cats and dogs.

Optional planter

The 4-inch nursery pot fits inside the white Basel 4.7-inch planter with a little room around it. The Basel planter in the styled photo is sold separately; the plant ships in its nursery grow pot. Furnishings are not included.
