Tradescantia sillamontana ‘Variegata’ is a fuzzy, bright yellow, drought-resistant, heat-resistant variation on the theme of Tradescantia.
The white hairs covering the surface of her leaves allow her to limit the evapo-transpiration by which plants control their temperature, but in very high temperatures, expose themselves to dehydration.
Indoors – the foliage will remain the same throughout the winter season.
Outdoors – the foliage will fall off during the winter months and return in full force in the spring.
The Tale:
Trichomes (/ˈtraɪkoʊmz, ˈtrɪkoʊmz/; from Ancient Greek τρίχωμα (tríkhōma) ‘hair’) are fine outgrowths or appendages on plants, algae, lichens, and certain protists.
And just as with mammal hair (for beauty, for camouflage, f0r attraction, for insulation, for distraction), the trichomes have a variety of different functions.
We saw limiting evapo-transpiration, but there is also providing insulation from frost, increasing light reflectance in desert species, protecting the cell tissue… and more
Trichomes are really interesting – doing a deep dive will only make you a happier plant owner.
Other Names:
I would like to propose ‘Fuzzy Wuzzy’ to the committee and see where it lands.
