Fantasy Venice looks like someone painted a wandering jew plant in the best of its colors. It is easy to maintain and offers spectacular shades of different hues! Let’s have a detailed look at Tradescantia Nanouk Care.
Also known as Tradescantia albiflora ‘Nanouk’ and Fantasy Venice, this new spiderwort variety is a result of the cross-pollination of two seedlings of Tradescantia albiflora. This compact variety was made in the Netherlands in 2012.
This herbaceous perennial has an upright and compact broad spreading growth pattern. It features light purple, green, and grey-green-hued strong, healthy leaves. Growing this is a lot similar to other tradescantia plants.
Propagating Tradescantia nanouk is quite easy— snip a 5-6 inches long cutting just below the node, remove the bottom foliage, dip the end in a rooting hormone and plant them in the soil.
If you want this to grow in water, place the cuttings in a glass jar filled with non-chlorinated water and keep it in bright, indirect light. When roots develop, transplant them in the soil or continue to grow in the water.
This compact plant prefers partial, filtered, or bright indirect sunlight as it helps it in producing more colorful leaves and improves flower growth. Lack of light can cause the leaves to fade. For best colors, expose it to the mild morning sun for 1-2 hours.
It’s not finicky about any soil type, just provide your tradescantia a well-draining growing medium because it hates living in waterlogged soil. If you are using just garden soil, add some peat moss or coco peat, or coarse sand to lighten it up.
Improve the soil quality by adding organic matter such as compost, leaf mold or manure.
Overwatering is more harmful than underwatering; allow the soil to become dry
