Description
The Oyster Plant is a refreshingly bright-colored plant with green leaves that feature purple, pink, and white striping. The leaves are in a rosette pattern and grow upward rather than trail, which is unique for plants in the Tradescantia family. The Oyster Plant is easy to care for and adds a vivid touch of color to any collection.
The Oyster Plant is native to Southern Mexico and Central America. This plant can grow in low to indirect bright light. The more light this plant gets, the deeper the colors become. Water thoroughly when the soil is half dry and keep in a warm humid spot.
