Tradescantia ‘Brightness’ is a green, cream and white striped Tradescantia with trailing stems. Its pale striping gives the plant a light green-white colour pattern across each stem.
As the stems lengthen, they trail over the pot edge and can be trimmed back whenever the plant needs a fuller top. Cream and white leaf sections can brown faster after strong sun or dry stress, so bright filtered light and steady watering are especially important.
Tradescantia ‘Brightness’ grows as a trim-friendly trailing houseplant with soft, pale-striped foliage. Regular pruning keeps the top of the pot fuller, and rooted cuttings can be planted back into the same pot as older stems thin out.
Tradescantia sap can irritate skin. Keep Tradescantia ‘Brightness’ away from pets that chew foliage and wash hands after pruning, propagation or contact with cut stems.
