Light:
Needs bright, indirect light. If the plant starts to get leggy this is a sign that you need to increase the light.
Water:
Allow the plant to dry out slightly between waterings. Try sticking your finger in the soil to test the soil, does it feel dry? Time for a drink!
Planty Tip:
This plant is a climbing aroid so add a moss pole, trellis, or stake to give it something to climb! The PPP also requires high humidity.
Tradescantia Tricolor
Light:
Loves bright, indirect light
Water:
During spring and summer keep the soil moist, but not soggy. During winter allow the top inch or two to dry out between watering.
Planty Tip:
This plant would love to spend some warm spring or summer days outside. Place in partial shade, water appropriately, feed with liquid fertilizer and watch it explode with growth.
Calathea Dottie
Light:
This plant is going to be a great option if you need a lower light lover that still has some gorgeous pink foliage. It does best in medium to low indirect light. Keep away from direct sun as it will burn the leaves.
Water:
Needs a consistent watering schedule to thrive. Soil needs to be kept moist but not soggy. This beauty does not tolerate drought well and will get crispy edges if allowed to dry out too much between watering.
Planty Tip:
Calatheas can be more picky about the water they like to drink. If you notice the leaves yellowing or browning it might be a sign it needs more filtered water. Try leaving your tap water out overnight to help dissipate the fluoride and chlorine.
