Tradescantia zebrina is also known as spiderwort. It is cultivated for its beautifully colored, often striped leaves. The flowers play less of a role. Fortunately, the plant is not poisonous and can therefore be kept indoors without any worries.
Even cats are allowed to nibble on the zebra weed
Tradescantia zebrina is not poisonous
Zebra weed is one of the non-toxic plants that you can keep indoors even if you have small children or pets. There is no danger from the plant - not even if the cat nibbles a few leaves.
Even with proper care, Tradescantia zebrina loses its lower leaves over time. This is normal. Pruning back in spring will help reduce leaf fall.
tips
Tradescantia zebrina is not only very easy to care for - you can also easily propagate the plant. To do this, cut head cuttings of 10 to 15 cm in length in the spring. The cuttings root very quickly in the growing medium.
