When repotting, use standard, airy houseplant soil with good drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"augi-plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54368315703625,"sku":null,"price":13.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/0252\/1918\/files\/FullSizeRender_53dd61f9-3980-4ca6-a3b6-6b2821036e35.heic?v=1778662827","url":"https:\/\/www.augi-plants.fi\/en\/products\/tradescantia-purple-heart","provider":"www.augi-plants.lv","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
