Rhoeo Tricolor ‘Moses In The Cradle’ Oyster Plant
The Rhoeo Tricolor ‘Moses In The Cradle’ Oyster Plant (tradescantia spathacea) is a house plant known for its cream, green, and pink variegated foliage. When given enough light, small white flowers produce inside its folded leaves. Oyster plants are mostly grown inside, but if you live in the proper grow zones, they can be planted outside in the warmer months.
Oyster plants prefer full or partial sun in a moist, well drained potting soil. Your plant will be happier if their soil stays on the dryer side, they actually prefer it! They stay a relatively practical size for house plants, up to 12 inches tall and 24 inches wide. Be careful when handling your plant because they can cause skin irritation if touched and are toxic if ingested. Handle only when wearing protective gloves and keep out of reach of animals or children. Check our guide for pet safe plants for more information.
