Tradescantia Nanouk Care Guide
Tradescantia Nanouk, also called Fantasy Venice, is an easy houseplant with pretty pastel purple, pink, and green leaves. Here’s how to care for it:
Light: Needs bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can burn the leaves. Too little light makes colours fade.
Water: Keep soil slightly moist in spring and summer. Water when the top inch is dry. Water less in winter.
Humidity: Likes medium to high humidity. Mist sometimes, or use a humidity tray if your home is dry.
Temperature: Best between 18°C and 24°C (65°F to 75°F). Keep away from cold drafts.
Soil: Use well-draining potting soil with some perlite or sand.
Feeding: Feed every 4-6 weeks in the growing season with balanced liquid fertiliser—no feeding in winter.
Pruning: Pinch stems regularly to maintain a bushy and neat appearance.
Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the roots become crowded. Use a slightly bigger pot.
Pests: Be on the lookout for spider mites and aphids. Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil if needed. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
With simple care, your Nanouk will thrive and brighten your home with lovely colours. Enjoy!
