Introducing New Vogue™ Feeling Trendy™, a fun new inch plant that’s not your average inch plant! Feeling Trendy™ is desert-born, growing native in the arid landscapes of Northern Mexico, where it “inches” along in the sunshine. Often called the “Cobweb Spiderwort”, Feeling Trendy™ has variegated leaves of chunky pale yellow and cool green that are coated in a cottony layer of fuzz. This cobwebby coating protects the plant from water loss and reflecting too much intense sunlight in its native habitat. In your home, Feeling Trendy™ will pump out high style with low water, especially if placed in your sunniest windowsill. Treat this unusual Tradescantia more like a succulent than an “inch plant” and you may even be rewarded with fuschia-purple flowers on occasion.

Maintenance Notes:- For optimal performance, keep your Inch Plant at 60-85°F (15-29°C).
- Inch Plants thrive in medium to bright indirect light and medium to high humidity.
- Inch Plants prefer moist, but not soggy soil. Be sure to water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Ensure good drainage and do not allow your Inch Plant to sit in water for extended periods of time, after it has received a good soaking.
- Feed your Inch Plant once per month at half strength when it is actively growing. Reduce frequency of fertilization in the winter months. If no new leaves are growing, it does not need to be fertilized.
- Protect furniture when watering & fertilizing.
- When repotting your Inch Plant, use an all-purpose potting mix, with perlite added to ensure good drainage.
