TRADESCANTIA SPATHACEA ‘VELVET BROWN’ 6”—A Bold Beauty for Your Indoor Jungle

Meet the Tradescantia spathacea ‘Velvet Brown,’ also known as “Moses-in-the-Cradle,” a plant with striking foliage that blends velvety brown and deep green hues, accented by rich purples underneath. Its bold color palette and dramatic textures make it a showstopper in any space—perfect for adding depth to your collection.

The Nitty-Gritty (Plant Care):

• Light: Bright, indirect light keeps those colors popping, but it’s tolerant of lower light too—talk about adaptable!

• Water: Let the top inch of soil dry out before watering. Overwatering? Not its vibe.

• Humidity: Thrives in average humidity but appreciates an occasional spritz or spot near a humidifier for that spa-like treatment.

What It’s Telling You:

• Happy Signs: Vibrant colors, strong growth, and new leaves unfurling like tiny gifts.

• Needs TLC: Pale or droopy leaves may mean it’s thirsty or not loving its light—adjust accordingly, and it’ll bounce back.

Good News for Pet Parents:

Keep this one out of paw’s reach—it’s not pet-friendly.

Extra Love for Detail Lovers:

• The 6” size refers to the nursery pot’s diameter, not the height of the plant.
