Furbertplant Birmingham, United Kingdom Sep 04, 2011

Hi everyone,

I have a small Tradescantia sillamontana by the affectionate name of Furbert, there is not an awful lot of information on this lovely plant that i can find so i was wondering if anybody could answer my questions:

1. The leaves are rather dark pink towards the base of the stem, is it a sign of too much sun or anything untoward?
2. At present it is in full sun but is kept INDOORS on an upstairs windowsill, is it better as an outdoor plant? it does seem to be growing at a fantastic rate.
3. How often should it be watered?
4. any advice on re-potting or taking and planting cuttings for when it gets too big?

Thanks
