🌿 Tradescantia “Fuzzy”
Tradescantia sillamontana
Often called White Velvet or Cobweb Spiderwort
Soft texture. Silvery tone. Unexpected charm.
Tradescantia Fuzzy is known for its thick, velvety leaves coated in fine white hairs that give it a soft, almost frosted appearance. The texture is the statement here. Subtle, tactile, and beautifully different from glossy foliage.
It adds dimension to shelves, plant stands, and trailing displays.
🪴 Care Instructions:
☀️ Light:
Bright, indirect light is ideal. Can tolerate some gentle direct morning sun. Too little light may cause legginess.
💧 Water:
Allow soil to dry out between waterings. This variety is more drought tolerant than many Tradescantia types. Avoid overwatering.
🌡️ Temperature:
Thrives between 60–80°F. Protect from frost.
💦 Humidity:
Adaptable to average indoor humidity. Avoid heavy misting as moisture can cling to the fuzzy leaves.
🌱 Soil:
Well-draining mix. A cactus or succulent blend works well.
🐾 Pet Friendly:
Not considered pet safe. Tradescantia varieties may cause skin irritation and mild gastrointestinal upset if ingested by cats or dogs.
Best kept out of reach of pets.
