How can I successfully grow and care for Tradescantia zebrina outdoors?

To successfully grow and care for Tradescantia zebrina outdoors, place it in a location with bright, indirect sunlight and well-draining soil. Water it regularly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Fertilize it monthly during the growing season and prune it to encourage bushier growth. Protect it from extreme temperatures and pests.
