Product description

Tradescantia zebrina 'Red' is the zebrina that turned up the warmth and never looked back—those lance-shaped leaves in deep burgundy-red with silver striping and iridescent undersides trail in dense, fast-growing cascades that bring a warmer, richer color palette than the standard purple form while keeping all the same vigorous trailing energy that makes the zebrina genus so satisfying to own. She's bold, fast, and the kind of trailing plant that fills a hanging basket with genuine presence in a season rather than a year. Warm, vivid, and entirely committed to being the most colorful thing cascading off any shelf she occupies.Care Card🌿 Light — Bright indirect to some direct morning sun. That deep burgundy-red and silver iridescence stays most saturated and vivid with good light; low light causes the red to fade toward dull brown-green and the silver striping loses its metallic quality entirely.💧 Water — Keep consistently moist but never waterlogged. Let the top inch dry slightly then water thoroughly; she communicates thirst through dramatic wilting and recovers immediately once watered—expressive, not fragile.💨 Humidity — Average to moderate, 40–60%. Comfortable in typical home humidity without supplemental assistance; a pebble tray keeps the dense trailing display looking lush in very dry conditions.🌡️ Temperature — 60–80°F. Never below 55°F. Stable warmth keeps that burgundy-red trailing cascade vivid and consistent; cold drafts fade the warm red tones toward brown faster than anything else.🪴 Soil — Well-draining all-purpose mix with good moisture retention. Fast-draining enough for root health, rich enough to stay consistently moist—she grows fast and needs regular moisture to sustain that dense warm-toned trailing display.🌱 Fertilizer — Half-strength balanced liquid every 3–4 weeks in spring and summer. Monthly in fall. Nothing in winter; consistent feeding supports the vigorous growth that keeps the burgundy-red display looking full, dense, and genuinely warm.⚠️ Toxicity — Mildly toxic to cats and dogs. Can cause skin irritation and digestive upset; keep away from pets who investigate trailing plants at mouth level.🐣 Beginner Friendly? — Absolutely yes. Fast-growing, forgiving, and delivers immediate warm colorful trailing payoff—the Red Zebrina is the plant that makes beginners feel accomplished and experienced growers reach for the hanging basket without a second thought.HOW OUR SHIPPING WORKS For more details, please see our Shipping Policy to support your plants for a healthy journey in all seasons.PLEASE NOTE: What you see is the vibe — not the exact plant. 🌿 Each plant has its own personality (some a little more dramatic than others).
