Care Guide

Light

  • Bright, Indirect Light: Tradescantia 'Yellow Hill' thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. This lighting keeps its variegation vibrant and promotes healthy growth.
  • Low Light Tolerance: It can tolerate lower light conditions, but the colours may fade or become less vibrant.
  • Direct Sunlight: While it can handle some morning sunlight, prolonged direct sun may scorch its leaves, especially in summer.

Watering

  • Moderate: Tradescantia prefers evenly moist soil, but it’s crucial not to let it sit in waterlogged soil. Water once the top inch of soil is dry.
  • Humidity: Tradescantia enjoys higher humidity levels, though it can adapt to average indoor humidity. Mist regularly or place it near a humidifier in dry conditions.

Temperature

  • Ideal Range: The plant grows best in temperatures between 15-24°C (60-75°F).
  • Avoid Cold Drafts: Tradescantia 'Yellow Hill' is not frost-tolerant, so keep it away from chilly spots or temperatures below 10°C (50°F).

Soil

  • Well-draining Soil: A standard potting mix with added perlite works well. Tradescantia 'Yellow Hill' prefers soil that retains some moisture but drains well.

Fertiliser

  • Feeding Schedule: Feed every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser at half strength.
  • Avoid Overfeeding: Tradescantia is sensitive to over-fertilisation, which can cause root burn and leaf damage.

Pruning

  • Trimming for Fullness: Regular pruning encourages bushier growth and prevents the plant from becoming too leggy. Cut back leggy stems to encourage new growth.
  • Propagation: Tradescantia 'Yellow Hill' is easy to propagate through stem cuttings. Place cuttings in water or soil, and they’ll root within a few weeks.

Common Problems

  • Leggy Growth: This can occur if the plant isn't getting enough light. Move it to a brighter spot and trim back to promote bushiness.
  • Brown Leaf Tips: Often caused by low humidity or lack of water. Increase watering slightly or mist the plant to improve humidity.
  • Pests: Tradescantias can occasionally attract pests like spider mites or aphids. Check the plant regularly and treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil if needed.

Summary

Tradescantia 'Yellow Hill' is an easy-to-care-for, colourful plant that adapts well to most indoor environments. With its quick growth and low-maintenance needs, it’s an excellent choice for plant lovers of all experience levels. Keep it in bright, indirect light, water moderately, and enjoy its beautiful, trailing foliage for years to come.

We do our best to ensure a bug free growing environment however sometimes these can unfortunately be missed, as such we always recommend quarantining plants when they first enter your home and checking them upon arrival for bugs.
