Tradescantia zebrina is also known as the three-master flower. It is cared for 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 worry.
Is Tradescantia zebrina poisonous?
Tradescantia zebrina, also known as zebraweed or spiderwort, is a non-poisonous plant. It can be safely cared for in households with small children or pets as it poses no danger, even if it is eaten.
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. The plant poses no danger - not even if the cat nibbles on a few leaves.
Even with proper care, Tradescantia zebrina loses its lower leaves over time. This is a normal process. By cutting back in spring, leaf fall can be reduced somewhat.
Tip
Tradescantia zebrina is not only very easy to care for - you can also easily propagate the plant. To do this, cut head cuttings 10 to 15 cm long in spring. The cuttings root very quickly in growing substrate (€6.00 at Amazon).
