Tradescantia zebrina ‘Silver Plus’, 6-Inch Hanging Pot

Let the shimmering silver stripes and deep purple undersides of Tradescantia zebrina ‘Silver Plus’ spill from a hanging basket. Its green-edged leaves catch bright, indirect light, bringing movement and color to a shelf or window area without needing a decorative planter.

Size and what ships

One live Tradescantia zebrina ‘Silver Plus’ in a 6-inch nursery hanging pot. Fullness and trailing length vary from plant to plant. With care, stems can grow longer and cascade well beyond their current size. 

Care guide

• Light: Bright indirect light helps maintain the silver and purple coloring. A little gentle morning sun may be suitable, but shield it from harsh afternoon sun.
• Water: Water when the upper inch of potting mix feels dry, then allow excess to drain. Avoid leaving the hanging pot sitting in water; adjust frequency for your light and season.
• Soil: Use a loose, well-draining houseplant mix in a pot with drainage.
• Temperature and humidity: Keep in normal warm indoor conditions, away from frost and drying heat vents. Average household humidity is usually fine.
• Feeding: Fertilize lightly about once a month during active spring and summer growth if needed; reduce feeding in winter.
• Pruning: Pinch or trim long stems to encourage a fuller basket. Older stems can thin over time, and cuttings can refresh the pot.
• Propagation: Root stem cuttings with nodes in water or moist potting mix.
