I’ve recently moved house and in the messiness of life, some of my plants have paid the price. My tradescantia nanouk is one of these. It was left in a dark space near a radiator (I know 🤦🏻) and lost all its colour and started to go crispy. I’ve repositioned it in the loft room under a skylight, hoping that the light will be better - it’s been a few weeks and it’s looking a bit healthier but the colour hasn’t returned on new leaves.

Any advice on how I can help it recover? Or should I trim it back to the coloured bits and start again?

Mine loose the color in the winter cause I don't have the best light but in the summer I set it outside and the color comes right back

Ooh that’s good to know! Does it come back only on new leaves or also on existing uncoloured ones?

#### Stephanie님이 2025-02-21에 답변했습니다.

No it will slowly change the green ones too. Just needs good light. Just make sure the sun doesn't hit it directly or it will burn the leaves

#### Eva님이 2025-02-21에 답변했습니다.

Ah amazing, I’ll trim off the crispy leaves and see if I can get some colour back into the others in the summer. Thank you!

What’s the name of big green one is from snake family?

#### Eva님이 2025-02-21에 답변했습니다.

Well spotted, it is indeed a snake plant! This is last October so it’s grown a little more since then.

😄👍🏻how beautiful it is

#### Eva님이 2025-02-21에 답변했습니다.

It’s very lovely, like a slowly growing sculpture. I’ve just looked it up and I think it’s a sansevieria trifasciata black coral ☺️

#### Joana님이 2025-02-21에 답변했습니다.

Ok it’s very pretty, that’s why I asked you and I looked for it on Amazon, but I don’t know if it would arrive safely here by buying it online.

#### Eva님이 2025-02-22에 답변했습니다.

I’ve never bought plants from Amazon, but I have bought quite a few online from House of Kojo (in the UK) and they’ve always arrived safe and sound.

I don’t have any advice for your question, but I was wondering what phone you have lol. These photos are really nice!

Haha, thanks! It’s an iPhone 13 Pro, which I got mainly for the camera 😅
