Tradescantia zebrina is not poisonous
The zebra herb is one of the non-toxic plants that you can maintain in the house even if you have small children or pets. There is no danger from the plant - not even when the cat nibbles on a few leaves.
Even with proper care, Tradescantia zebrina loses the lower leaves over time. This is a normal process. By pruning in the spring, the leaf drop can be reduced slightly.
Tips
Tradescantia zebrina is not only very easy to care for - you can also simply multiply the plant. For this purpose you cut head cuttings from 10 to 15 cm in length in the spring. The cuttings rooted very quickly in growing substrate.
