I have never had a tradescantia bloom before. This one I rescued from the clearance rack at Walmart in a mixed succulent planter about a month or so ago.

I killed every tradescantia I’ve ever touched. I didn’t even know they could bloom, very cool!

Mine keep dying too. But mine weren’t well established like yours is. I think mine died from too much water. Good luck! 🍀

This one was in a clearance succulent planter from Walmart! I repotted it and have mostly just left it alone since then. :)
