Tradescantia andrieuxii

A Mexican spiderwort recorded from the Sonoran foothills down to Oaxaca and Chiapas, mostly in seasonally dry forest and scrub with a sharp summer monsoon. Treat it like other seasonal Mexican Tradescantia: bright filtered light, steady water through the warm wet season and a drier, cooler winter rest.

Where it grows wild

Recorded across seasonally dry tropical forest, oak woodland and rocky scrub; specific microhabitat is poorly documented, so this is inferred from the record sites and related Mexican species that grow in partial shade under shrubs and on rocky banks.

Recorded from 23 to 2,650 m, median about 1,100 m.
