Tradescantia Nanouk is a newly developed, hard to find, easy to grow, gorgeous plant perfect for succulent lovers, pinkplant lovers, variegated plant lovers, and Commelinaceae plant-family lovers. Ifyou’re on Instagram, this is the plant you NEED for #onwednesdaysweplantpink 😊Unlike its Tradescantia fluminensis laekenensiscousins, Nanouk has a thicker stem and thick smooth leaves – more like asucculent than its more tender leaved relatives. The coloration on Tradescantia Nanouk ...isjust fantastic – highly striated with a LOT of pink/purple in shades rangingfrom light lilac to deep magenta. The leaf undersides are a rich. The photosdon’t do it justice! Nanouk will accept some full sun orpartial shade but does best in BRIGHT indirect light. I keep mine under a fullspectrum plant-growth light, and near a south facing window. It can be grown outdoorsin warm weather but is typically grown as a houseplant. It grows more uprightthan its trailing Commelinaceae family kin but will eventually trail down andthus can be grown in a hanging basket or pot where you’d be able to see thoseamazing leaf undersides more easily. One of the best things about Nanouk is itvigorously branching growth pattern. As you can see in the photos, under theright growing conditions, it will produce new growth at almost every nook andcranny of the stem. To encourage this, pinch out tips regularly and provide itplenty of bright indoor light (but not too much full sun.)Water Tradescantia Nanouk roughly onceper week. It is fairly tolerant of variable water levels but prefers to dry outbetween waterings and is drought tolerant once established. Do not let it sitin water or remain moist for too long. NOTE: this plant is sensitive tofluoride. Use distilled water, rainwater, purified water, or at least tap waterthat’s sat long enough for the fluoride and chlorine to disperse. Otherwise, you may start to see brown spots. The plant you are bidding on is in asmall pot, 2-3 inches. It can be potted up in something larger upon arrival, but it’s not an emergency to do so. I will pack it carefully andwill take it directly to my climate-controlled post office (no time spent in amailbox!) I encourage you to subscribe to the USPS tracking number by emailand/or text message so you can pick it up as soon as it’s delivered. I can holdit for you if you are concerned about temperatures in transit. There are two options for shipping -- first class mail is less expensive but not insured and a little slower. Priority mail is what I'd recommend if you're concerned about temperatures in transit, or just want your plant to arrive sooner! It is normal for there to be some minordamage in shipping due to postal worker handling (although I am very carefulabout how I pack plants to minimize this!) But if there’s significant damage, send me a photo and a note within 24 hours of its arrival and I will help youout right away. I can’t guarantee this plant will thrivefor you (depends on your growing conditions), but I can guarantee that theplant I ship is healthy and happy!
