Tradescantia fluminensis ‘White Giant’ has compact stems and fairly large white and silvery green variegated leaves.
The leaves are large, some of the largest found in the Tradescantia family. They are variegated with stark green and white variegation, with occasional hints of pink on the undersides.
The flowers are white with three petals and approx. 13–25 mm in diameter. They are produced in small clusters in summer but do not produce seeds.
So make sure the light is not too weak and divide the bunch every 2 years as the growth is vigorous and dense – they will even block light for their siblings if it means they can get ahead.
Shakespearean dramas are everywhere!
Nota bene:
-
- Because their leaves resemble those of a succulent, they are sensitive to frost! If your area is frosty, bring your Wandering Dudes inside for the winter.
- As houseplants they grow in clumps, forming little tufts of luminous color in a hanging basket or on a east-facing windowsill.
