How To Care For Purple Queen Plant. It is best to water your Tradescantia Purpurea plants thoroughly. Apply the fertilizer to damp soil at the rate.
A light freeze kills the foliage to the ground but will rejuvenate from the roots. A balanced organic fertilizer is a good choice. When watering apply the water directly to the soil to keep the leaves from getting wet.
Unless your orchid is growing in the open air where it will quickly dry out the plant needs very little water.
If your house has drier air a humidifier can help as can placing your plant in a bathroom or kitchen. Water on a regular basis but dont keep the area overly wet. Optimum temperatures for the purple passion plant are 60 to 70 degrees F. Break apart the plants root ball and place it in the container so it sits at the same depth as it did in its plastic container.
