Inch Plant

The Inch Plant (Tradescantia zebrina) is a succulent that requires very little extra care and likes to dry out a little between watering. They are fast-growers and can be pinched back to make the plant more compact and bushy.

It prefers consistently moist soil, so don’t go too long between waterings. It will tolerate the occasional dry-out; just don’t make it a regular thing.

Always keep these plants right in front of a window in order to encourage more vigorous, compact growth and maintain the beautiful coloration in the foliage. Some direct sun indoors is very beneficial.

No, this plant is not pet friendly.

When the humidity is too low, the leaves will start to turn brown and die. This is the biggest issue with growing them indoors during the winter months, when the air in our home is super dry. So, it's very important to keep the humidity as high as possible.
