Tradescantia Watering

Tradescantia likes lightly moist soil, so water when the top inch feels dry. For most homes, that ends up being about once a week, but your schedule may shift with the season. In more humid or cooler conditions, watering may stretch to every 10–14 days. In hot, dry, or bright spaces, you may need to water a bit more often.

A droopy or slightly limp Tradescantia is usually asking for a drink, so keep an eye on its leaves until you get a sense of its rhythm in your home.  These plants also appreciate higher humidity, making a bathroom a great spot; the extra steam keeps their foliage lush and prevents crispy edges.
