Tradescantia sillamontana (4 inch)

-About Tradescantia sillamontana-

Tradescantia sillamontana, commonly known as White Gossamer plant, Cobweb Spiderwort, and White Velvet, is a perennial evergreen succulent plant. As the leaves, stems, and roots all are heavily covered with cobwebby, completely white hairs, the plant is very recognizable. The shape of leaves is ovate, and overall height can reach 6-18 inches with a spread of 2 feet. Producing pretty three-petaled magenta flowers in midsummer.

-How to care for Tradescantia sillamontana-

Sun/Location: As a succulent species from a dry, hot region, White Gossamer Plant can tolerate full sun and be happy under temperature stress in spring and fall, but too much harsh sunlight can burn the leaves, especially in summer, so partial shade is necessary.

Soil/Pot: Cobweb Spiderwort can tolerate poor soils, but the ideal soil is well-drained and acidic.

Watering: It is highly recommended to use the soak-and-dry method of watering. Thorough watering while ensuring the soil is thoroughly dry will protect the roots of the succulents, and the frequency of watering can be increased appropriately during the growing season, such as spring and fall, and watering sparingly or stopped in winter to help White Velvet endure the cold.

We pack all shipments by hand. 

We have many years of experience shipping live succulents and cactus plants. We pay close attention to packing and have developed an expert shipping method. All succulents are packed and protected with polypropylene cotton (this is a stuffing used for dolls). We find this is the most effective material for protecting live plants while in transit. It is important to us that you are able to Keep going and Keep growing without any stress about the quality of the product or packaging.

Shipping Speed

In general, it takes 3 to 10 days for plants to arrive after you place your order. All orders will be shipped out 48 hours after you place them. We ship the orders on work days(from Monday to Saturday) and all year round. In normal conditions, it will take 3-10 days for you to receive the package. Estimated shipping times are offered as needed.

HOLIDAYS: During weeks in which a holiday occurs - Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, etc. - shipping may be delayed until the following week.

EXTREME WEATHER NOTICE: The Next Gardener reserves the right to hold shipments during storms or periods of extreme heat or cold. This is to ensure your plant does not suffer while it is in transit.

Winter shipping

We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round. However due to the extreme winter weather, although we pack succulents with as much protective material as possible, plants are still at increased risk of frost on their way to colder areas. We highly recommend adding one 72-hour heat pack to your order or you can request a hold on the package until it warms up.

Please note that The Next Gardener is not responsible for packages that suffer cold damage without a heat pack. We cannot control the weather. Order at your own risk.

Hawaii, Alaska, and Other US Territories

Unfortunately, shipping is not available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories. The transit time is too long, and the plants would be dead on arrival.

Due to numerous factors beyond our control, free shipping to Hawaii and Puerto Rico is not an option. And, we can no longer guarantee orders going to Hawaii and Puerto Rico that get delayed by more than 4 in-transit days. The buyer will assume all risk of damage when a delivery is delayed. Thank you for your understanding.

Sorry. No International Shipping for now!!!
