I just recently found this plant at our local garden center.The Tradescantia Nanouk is one of my favorite plants of all time The purple and pink color is exquisite.However this one is like a lavender color And as much shorter stems and smaller leaves.I absolutely adore.Sometimes the Tradescantia Nanouk can get a little spindle if you don't keep your eye on it.This, however, is perfect.It's nice and compact and I adore it.One of my new favorites proven winners.You've done it once again!!!

‘Feeling Flirty’ is a low maintenance, easy-to-grow Tradescantia or “inch plant”, brightening any space with its carefree, colorful charm, as it grows and “inches” along. Its trailing leaves are small, not more than an inch or two in length, and a lovely shade of pinkish-purple. Leaves have cool green stripes, almost as if they were hand-painted. If the light catches ‘Feeling Flirty’ just right, and if you look close enough, you will notice that the stems have delicate hairs that curl like lashes, and the leaves sparkle, almost as if they were dusted with pixie magic. ‘Feeling Flirty’ will be the perfect playful plant for spilling out of a container or hanging basket.

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.
