The Tradescantia JS Brainstorm thrives in bright, indirect light when indoors and prefers part shade when grown outdoors. Ensure it receives adequate light without direct sun exposure to promote vibrant flowering.
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Keep the soil consistently moist but well-drained. Water regularly, especially during warmer months, but allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent overwatering.
🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)
This plant enjoys typical indoor temperatures ranging from 18°C to 24°C. Avoid placing it in draughty areas or near heat sources, which can cause stress.
💦💦▫️ (Moderate)
The Tradescantia JS Brainstorm benefits from moderate humidity. In drier indoor environments, occasional misting can help maintain its lush appearance.
Consider repotting every 2 to 3 years or when the plant outgrows its current container. Use a well-draining potting mix to encourage healthy root growth and flowering.
Tradescantia plants can be toxic if ingested. Keep out of reach of pets and small children to prevent any accidental nibbling.

Fantastic service as always from Pam, Craig and the Team! Added bonus to get to meet Angus the new puppy!
Great website and very communicative with delivery updates. Minor issue with the interface for the aroid plants bundle: I was unable to select both the base and extension pole, so had to add the latter separately.
Really lovely selection of plants photographed beautifully. I had a question before placing my order and used the online contact form. Craig couldn’t have been more helpful with a super quick response which resolved my query completely. My order was delivered on time and the plants and accessories were wrapped so beautifully with thoughtful little extras which made opening everything really special. I even got a ‘wee gift’ with my order and although I was aware from the website that one would be included with my order, it was just another example of a company who really wants to connect with the customers, even though there must be a financial commitment. I found the website full of useful articles and being able to access specific care guides for my purchases has been extremely useful.
The plants are well taken care of and from the few times I’ve bought from them never had any issues with the plants. 10/10 care would definitely recommend buying either only or in person.
