I neglected this plant a bit when I first got it. After reading the care instructions (which are super easy), I was able to nurse it back to life easily. It's a very pretty plant and easy to care for if you pay attention to it!
I got this Tradescantia Nanouk as part of my first purchase from this shop and I’m so happy with it! This plant is stunning and I love the purple leaves so much. I can’t wait to care for this plant and see more of those beautiful purple leaves grow. It was packaged carefully and arrived in great condition! I will definitely be purchasing from this shop again!
