Nanouk Inch Plant | Tradescantia fluminensis ‘Nanouk’ | Fantasy Venice | Tradescantia ‘Nanouk’

Nanouk Inch Plant is a stunning, fast-growing tropical trailing perennial (widely grown as a spectacular indoor house plant) prized for its spectacular, continuous profusion of thick, smooth leaves boldly striped with vibrant pink, white, and green, featuring striking magenta undersides. This exceptionally tough, adaptable selection is known for its vigorous, densely branching habit and tiny, star-shaped white and pink flowers that occasionally emerge from its vividly colored foliage. Its bold, intensely colorful trailing stems make it a spectacular, low-maintenance spiller and thriller for indoor hanging baskets, bright windowsills, and shaded summer patio containers. With its dramatic, painted texture and reliable performance, Nanouk offers an extraordinary display of vibrant, tropical foliage with exceptionally straightforward care.

Growing Nanouk Inch Plant

Light: Bright, indirect light; thrives in dappled sunlight or near a bright window when grown indoors. It requires strict protection from harsh, direct sunlight, which will easily scorch its delicate, colorful leaves, but too little light will cause it to lose its striking pink variegation and become leggy.

Soil: Rich, well-drained soil; highly adaptable to average soils, though it prefers a light, airy houseplant potting mix amended with perlite to ensure excellent aeration and drainage. It is extremely susceptible to root rot in heavy, waterlogged soils.

Water: Moderate; water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, allowing the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely between waterings. It strongly dislikes being completely dried out, but avoid getting water directly on the leaves to prevent fungal issues and leaf rot.

Maintenance: Exceptionally low maintenance. Pinch back the growing tips or long, leggy stems regularly to encourage a much bushier, denser branching habit. The pinched stems can be easily propagated by rooting them in water or directly in moist soil.

Wildlife: Generally grown indoors; its sap can cause mild skin irritation and is mildly toxic to pets if ingested. Outdoors, it is naturally deer-resistant.

Hardiness: Perennial in USDA zones 10–12; widely grown as a spectacular, fast-growing trailing annual in cooler regions or easily kept indoors as a vibrant, year-round house plant.

Shipping Info

Nanouk Inch Plant plants are shipped as healthy young starts in 4" nursery pots. Allow 1–2 weeks after arrival for plants to recover from shipping and resume active growth before repotting or planting outdoors.

Customer photo review of Monstera Esqueleto

It was my very first plant I order online so I wasn’t sure what to expect but when it got here and in one piece and as long as it is I was shocked but very HAPPY.

Customer photo review of Violette de Bordeaux Fig

It's doing really well. I will be transferring it to a bigger pot probably by the weekend. I wish I had a little more instructions on how to care for this variety, and what to do in the fall.

Customer photo review of Medinilla Myriantha 'Malaysian Orchid'

Very healthy cutting. Followed the instructions and let it get acclimated to its new surroundings for a couple of weeks before repotting. Would not hesitate to purchase from this business again 😃

Customer photo review of Pink Swamp Milkweed

Plants arrived in great condition. This plant has only been in the ground about 10 days and is growing a lot. The plant cage is 12” tall so it’s doing well. I put guards around my new plants for a little while because I have bunnies who love tender young leaves.

Customer photo review of Mystery Plant

I got 2 mystery plants (one indoor and one outdoor). The indoor was a pilea and the outdoor plant was a white blackberry. White blackberry was dramatic, but it’s making a comeback and the pilea is doing great!

Customer photo review of Musa 'Red Dacca' Banana

Need to upgrade your packaging. I would suggest taping the plant in place in the cardboard tube on the count that it slid and smashed itself. Luckily, it's a strong plant and should recover. Hoping.for the best.

Customer photo review of Pomegranate 'Dwarf Red'

This little guy came in perfect. Despite the cat knocking it over and being placed in the soup cup for safer keeping, it’s thriving and happy. Once it’s bigger then it will make its way outdoors.
