Light:

• Bright, Indirect Light: Place the Wandering Dude in bright, indirect light. It can adapt to lower light conditions but exhibits the best coloration in brighter settings.

Temperature:

• Moderate Temperatures: Maintain a temperature range between 60°F to 75°F (15°C to 24°C). Protect the plant from drafts and cold temperatures.

Humidity:

• Adaptable to Humidity: Wandering Dude can adapt to a range of humidity levels. Regular misting can be beneficial, especially in dry indoor environments.

Watering:

• Moderate Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings. Adjust the frequency based on the season and environmental conditions.

Soil:

• Well-Draining Mix: Plant the Wandering Dude in a well-draining potting mix. A standard indoor plant mix or a mix for hanging baskets works well.

Container:

• Hanging Baskets or Containers with Drainage: Use hanging baskets or containers with drainage holes to allow excess water to escape. Repot if the plant outgrows its container.

Fertilizing:

• Balanced Liquid Fertilizer: Feed the Wandering Dude with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

Pruning:

• Pinching and Trimming: Pinch the tips regularly to encourage bushier growth. Trim leggy stems to maintain a compact and full appearance.

Propagation:

• Easy Propagation: Wandering Dude is easily propagated from stem cuttings. Place cuttings in soil or water until roots develop.

Caution:

• Toxicity: Tradescantia species can be mildly toxic if ingested. Keep the plant out of reach of pets and children.
