Zebra Lota, Inch Plant

Pot Material: Clay
Pot Size: 5inch regular

Tradescantia zebrina, commonly known as inch plant, is a species of herbaceous perennial plant in the family Commelinaceae. It is native to Mexico, Central America, and South America, but is now widely cultivated as an ornamental plant in many parts of the world.

The inch plant has long, trailing stems that can grow up to 2-3 feet in length, making it an ideal choice for hanging baskets or as a ground cover. The leaves are ovate and fleshy, with a deep green color and striking silvery-purple stripes on the upper side, which gives it a unique and attractive appearance.

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the inch plant is also popular for its ease of care. It thrives in bright, indirect sunlight, but can also tolerate some shade. The plant prefers well-draining soil and should be watered when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.

Propagating the inch plant is also relatively easy. Stem cuttings can be rooted in water or directly in soil, and the plant will quickly form new roots and begin to grow.

Aside from its ornamental value, Tradescantia zebrina is also known for its air-purifying qualities. It can remove harmful toxins from the air, making it a great choice for indoor environments.

Overall, the inch plant is a beautiful, low-maintenance plant that can add a touch of unique charm to any garden or indoor space.



Light: The inch plant prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so it's best to place the plant near a window with filtered light.
Watering: The plant should be watered when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as this can cause the roots to rot.
Soil: The inch plant prefers well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. A mix of potting soil and perlite or sand can work well.
Fertilizer: Fertilize the plant once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.
Propagation: The inch plant is easy to propagate from stem cuttings. Simply cut a stem about 4-6 inches long, remove the bottom leaves, and place the cutting in water or directly in soil. New roots should form within a few weeks.
Potential problems to look out for include:

Root rot: Overwatering or poorly draining soil can cause the roots to rot. To prevent this, make sure the soil is well-draining and avoid overwatering.
Pests: The inch plant can attract spider mites, mealybugs, and other pests. Inspect the plant regularly for any signs of pests and treat them promptly with an insecticidal soap.
Wilting: Wilting can be a sign of overwatering or underwatering. Check the soil moisture level and adjust watering accordingly.
By following these care tips and keeping an eye out for potential problems, you can help your Tradescantia zebrina thrive and enjoy its unique beauty in your home or garden.
