Tradescantia spathacea

Another month of good growth for the Tradescantia "Dwarf Tricolour". To be honest, I don't think this is an ideal plant for pot culture, because it will outgrow any pot too quickly and need either constant pruning, separating or re-potting. In less ideal conditions, like inside the house, where temperatures, humidity and light are not usually as well suited, they plant would grow more slowly, which may make it more viable in a pot. For the moment, I am going to let it carry on in the existing pot, because providing more space for it will just make it want more space still.
