Tradescantia spathacea enjoy bright filtered light. keep the soil moist during the growing season (spring and summer) and a little drier in the winter. Apply a balanced fertilizer every 4 weeks during the growing season. Pinching the plant will stimulate bushiness. Callisia fragrans enjoys the same conditions as the Tradescantia but will tolerate ia little less light. Jeri,
