I just bought this lovely plant last night at Walmart and now its confirmed she's a wandering jew plant! She didn't have a name tag and I spent forever googling possibilities. Mystery solved! I can't wait to make more plants! Thanks for sharing!
I was excited to try this with the molly fry that I have. They love the roots of the pothos. It hurt so much when I watched you cut the roots. Thanks for the video.
Thankyou so much...I have tons of this, these plants are fantastic grown in just a jar of water in the window I've grown so many extra plants this way, , fantastic going to add them to my new tiny tank Thank you so much.
My wandering jew plant was having a really hard time growing in soil, perhaps because I live in a really arid place. Anywho, I took a cutting and placed it in a single serving wine bottle (cute little thing) filled with water. It has been doing great ever since!
It would do even better if you add a couple snails into this bottle to make it sustainable aquarium. You may want to check videos on this playlist to see other plants and get details on how and what: ruclips.net/video/6pdfL4CX6qs/видео.html All the best on your adventure!
Thank you for asking! I have some videos about it. Here is playlist for water lily growing from bulb: ruclips.net/video/ZaMF_6Lt1yc/видео.html And here is video about apongeton: ruclips.net/video/vTzVjD8zXY0/видео.html PS: I am working on updates for both plants - they are doing great!
Absolutely amazing! Such a great idea and well explained. I love my wandering Jew plant. I’ve got so many cuttings that I’ve grown in water. Do you know how I can make them grow out facing downwards without leafing our all over the place or is that the beauty of this plant?
Thank you very much! I let branches grow old and they start bending downwards under its own weight. Trim secondary branches to let the main branch grow long without shadowing your aquarium too much. Check out this video to see how it may look like (last minute of the video): ruclips.net/video/W67BimgimXk/видео.html
Michael Langerman Do you not need a pump or water changes because of the plant?! I'm confused on how this works! I used to have an aquarium with an electric pump.
I did a cut of Purple Heart. It grew some new submerged branches. They are not solid purple when submerged, they are a pretty lime green with purple stripes. Might be nutrient change?
Michael Langerman, I don't know if you'll see this but if you do, what do you feed your guppy fry? I'd love to learn how to do a nursery like that for my Molly fry! How often do you change the water? Any how I enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing!
I feed fry with the same homemade fish food flakes made for adult fish in addition to all the algae and tiny critters they can find in aquariums. Here is a playlist of videos about fish food I use: ruclips.net/video/A7ZA9tVPA6Y/видео.html Here is a playlist of all my DIY aquariums: ruclips.net/video/k8ckHeVivqA/видео.html I don't change water in aquariums at all. Here is a playlist of anual video updates about my aquarium fish care routines (there are some changes as I learn): ruclips.net/video/cWUm7UV7VLc/видео.html Sharing is caring :) All the best on your adventure!
I grew Wandering Jew like mad from one tiny cutting, but grew it in dirt. I propagated it like mad, too. But the vines would always get very long, and the pant would die at the base. Wonder it that happens when planted in water. I'll try it.
EWKification I never let it grow long....trimming grown ends forces brunching. With many branches the plant became bushy and gives you option to trim it into desirable shape. I deem the plant has natural limits for how long the stem can grow...plants grown potted in soil generally seems to be stronger. All the best on your adventure!
Thank you for the question!! Yes there are! I want to try different strain of Wandering Jew plant that has pretty flowers: Tradescantia pallida and fluminensis. The one shown in this video is zebrina. Well, I am not sure how well those flowers could do, but...want to try them if I ever get my hands on them ;) I had Asiatic dayflower (easy to find on streets of NYC). Here is my video about it: ruclips.net/video/IoIsZHIM6RU/видео.html And then peace lily has flowers too! Check videos in this playlist for all I tried (I will keep it updated with new): ruclips.net/video/iArjh1PK7yE/видео.html
Thank you for the info! Winogradsky column is a cool tool for microbiology. I have interest in larger organisms and do some experiments trying to build sealed aquarium ecosystems. So far I get semi-sealed ecosystem with seed shrimps and snails. It seems that adding larger organisms such as fish would require building larger aquarium. I am planing to share results of my experiments on this topic in a couple months or so.

Just a thought. I teach micro and in my lab we make the columns. Even seniors in college enjoy making the columns. If you added guppies and aquaponics to it, then it would be super cool.
Do you feed the baby guppies in the aquarium with the plant? Or do they eat the plant roots or what? I would think the fish food would not be good for the plant... Hope this isn't a stupid question. Just curious. Very cool though!
Thank you for the questions, and very serious questions for this matter! Guppies of any age nibble on everything growing in aquariums - roots, plants, algae, critters - everythings. At the publication time of this video I have different feeding and aquarium fish care routine compare to what I have now. I feed all my fish with homemade fish food in addition to what they can find in aquariums ;) Here is playlist of my routines: ruclips.net/video/Gbdmf66XUSQ/видео.html And here is playlist of my fish food: ruclips.net/video/swUhkmDea4E/видео.html All the best!
Thank you for the question! Changing water or not depends on your aquarium fish care routine. I stopped changing water in all my aquariums since the end of 2016. The plant would do fine either way ;) Make sure leaves of Wandering Jew stay above water! Check videos on this playlist for my aquarium fish care routines: ruclips.net/video/eKDWgUO4VsM/видео.html All the best on your new adventure!
No Brenda. I've seen this plant, but decided to leave it for later. I noticed that leaves of plants with different than green color often cause of discoloration in water once they submerged. Aquaponics is cool and many plants seems to grow rather well with roots in water, but I am looking for land plants that can grow underwater ;) seems more fun to me. By the way, I tried Wandering Jew to grow underwater too. On my first try leaves that were underwater get pale and water gets darker too. I stopped this experiment for now - have other priorities to take care urgently and need make room and more nurseries for them ;)
I am glad to hear about your pothos. My pothos...I don't even know what to think: one stays green underwater without growing any noticeably, and another one got sick but there is some new green sprouts.
Thank you very much! Yes - though, I it is not a problem at all - I make fish food flakes with snails as additional ingredient ;) Here is a video for details: ruclips.net/video/186RslKYkJY/видео.html All species are subject of population density rules. Bladder snails are not exempt from that rules. They are actually very good example of such rules that every one can observe! I am working on a video to show it ;) The population of snails goes up and down all the time. It is self regulated by available food, space, oxygen and so on. All the best!
Yes, this plant can and growth all year around in water. It needs to be trimmed. The water in all my aquarium is clear :) The blue stuff is...you will like it :) Check this video for details: ruclips.net/video/OcL-9Z8-1Uk/видео.html and check out this video for more fun: ruclips.net/video/omIkfl2SyTU/видео.html All the best!!
How often do you change water? If you do, what percentage? Would be great if no water changes are necessary :) by the way, any insect issues with standing water? I am thinking to put them in aquarium so fishes, mainly endler's police the insect stuff.
I don't change water in my aquariums since 2016 - no issues. I add dechlorinated water as necessary about once a month or so to keep roots of land plants in water. No insects in my apartment, except those that I keep in terrariums for feeding my guppies, Endlers and pets that I plan to keep. You can see it all with details in my videos. Just check out playlists on my channel for specific topics. All the best on your adventure!
Thank you for the question! I don't change water in all my nurseries/ aquariums at all :) Here is a playlist of my aquarium fish care routines (present and past) for more details: ruclips.net/video/eKDWgUO4VsM/видео.html PS: With regards to this particular plant. Make sure to keep leaves of Wandering Jew above the water to prevent water discoloration. The roots and stem do not affect water color any visibly in my experience. Once in while you may need to trim it to shape it the way you like - looks good and beneficial for aquarium :) Best regards!
Thank you very much! I colored the water in the safest possible way with nothing but color ;) Here is a video explanation on this matter: ruclips.net/video/OcL-9Z8-1Uk/видео.html All the best!
Thank you very much! All aquariums with fast growing moss go through the stage of "tons of moss" - I have to trim the moss off to make swimming space for fish. Though, if you mean tons of different types of mosses in one aquarium then no. I have 2-3 types of mosses/ plants in most of my aquariums. It's hard to fit more in my small aquariums ;) though, it would be nice and more beneficial for aquariums. Best regards!
Sorry for that random dislike,my phone seized up. Lol. Ahhh and ok,that makes sense with the amount of different mosses,and with the "tons of moss" stage. Haha. But yea,I like fish,amphibians,reptiles...I think there all really cool,and I remember when we had an aquarium. I loved it. I always would think of the types you make and I really like those for some reason...something about the natural moss and small spaces..realistic. Neat. Can't wait for more uploads!
Ha-ha, don't be silly about likes and dislikes - they are equivalently important for RUclips rating system ;) Though, more likes is more pleasant :) Realistic! I like that a lot! A tiny world standing on it's own...growing and changing as it goes...there is something...magical?! Realistic! Real. We are totally on the same page sole-mate! Thank you very much!
I bought this plant after watching this video but I don’t have a cutting branch but a small one with its stem and I wonder if it is bad to put its stem inside water because I don’t have option to cut and get a branch because it is very little
Thank you for the question! Generally I prefer strong plants. Nevertheless, there are two possible ways to go. You can wait for the plant to grow large enough to make a cutting (with good care it grows very fast) or put the stem as it is with roots or without them in the water. Either way make sure to have 3 or better more leaves and wash the dirt of the roots thoroughly (if it comes with roots). The plant should be fine either way you go with it. All the best on your adventure!
@@4me Thanks for your reply! It has 2 leaves and a leave which is about to grow and looks like tulip. Most probably mine is not grown from seed but from a little cutting and I thought it is grown from seed but when I investigate it looks like it is a cutting. I put it inside aquarium but stem is just touching the water from the end of it and 4 roots are inside water some of them has root parts above the water. I cleaned them thoroughly some traces of dirt is still on the roots. I thought it would be better to grow it in the water to make the adaptation easier, I hope I will succeed. Thanks again and more suggestions are always appreciated 😊
So far I've been able to get them to root in the water, but the second I transfer them to soil something goes wrong and they die :( I use miracle grow soil.. what is going on :(
Thank you for the question! Ask friends, coworkers and neighbors - most owners would love to give you a cutting instead of through it away ;) Look for it and ask any stores selling plants (HomeDepot, Wholefood, IKEA and etc). All the best!
Yes, it's possible. Though, there are other interesting changes happens that I did not mention in the video. Well, I am working on a video update on this plant ;)
What causes the variation in wandering jews? I noticed mine is very silver but my mom's (and other's) are more blended purples and greens. Is it the plants' genetics, a matter of environment, age, all of the above?
The plant should be fine as long as the roots were washed clean from any dirt. And you have to keep the roots always submerged. All the best on your adventure!
I use dechlorinated tap water in all my aquariums. There is nothing special about it. Check this video for details: ruclips.net/video/8ItBA19CrtQ/видео.html Though, if you asking about color...check this video for details about background: ruclips.net/video/OcL-9Z8-1Uk/видео.html All the best!
The plant growth faster in soil than in water for more nutrition is available in soil. Though 30 cm in 5 months is as fast as it is about growth for plant growing with roots in water. Check out ending of my recent follow up video: ruclips.net/video/W67BimgimXk/видео.html
You may need to cut off the rotten part. Also, it would be better to use water from an aquarium or place the stem in aquarium (water in aquarium is full of nutrition for plants ;)
A bit of sorcery with a bit of wizardry and mostly...tilted background: ruclips.net/video/OcL-9Z8-1Uk/видео.html I also use different color lights for night show: ruclips.net/video/omIkfl2SyTU/видео.html
I keep my aquariums with fish next to the window but away from direct sunlight. You can see it at the beginning of this video: ruclips.net/video/eKDWgUO4VsM/видео.html
Plants are as people - everyone is different...may be your plant needs more time. Just keep it in water as long as it is alive, try to change location - move it closer to light or other way.
i just got a tiny cutting of a wandering jew plant and i had it in a small glass baby food jar for about 2 weeks and it developed lovely long white roots , i put it in some potting soil and it seems to be doing wonderful. i did seem to dry out a part of one leaf, but that was my mistake because i left it outside for a day (because i intended to have it grow outside for a while until i realized though research from today that direct sunlight is actually bad for them ) i was actually looking for a way to get the plant to look more voluminous and luscious and i found out through this video that it basically grows new branches on its own.
The temperature in my apartment is 72-76 F all year around: ruclips.net/video/xCx1eUhXvE8/видео.html Works well for all my plants/ fish and...family :)
How do you get the picture? I were wondering the photo was taken by me. My Flickr www.flickr.com/photos/alderwong/ Glad that you like the night scene of Hong Kong. Let me know if you visit Hong Kong. Cheers.

I've been growing jews for 27 years from a small one I bought. In a yard sale. They are amazing. They just keep growing and growing.
The same way this plant does it growing with roots in water - amazing it is :)
Buddy what kind of sorcery is this??? you have a crazy insane set of skills. awaiting the next upload. absolutely incredible

Hi Michael! Thank you for the idea! Very neat.

Nicely done! Most people use pothos for this but I find wandering Jew faster growing
Thank you!
Great video , I love fishes, plants 😍😍😍 Good job, thx 👍👍👍
Thank you very much!!
These plants propagate best in moist soil. When propagating cuttings in water make sure no leaves are submerged. They will rot.
Thank you!
My wandering jew plant was having a really hard time growing in soil, perhaps because I live in a really arid place. Anywho, I took a cutting and placed it in a single serving wine bottle (cute little thing) filled with water. It has been doing great ever since!

Wandering Jew leaves wilt in water and cause discoloration of the water - making the water slightly pinkish color. Cuttings seems to root the same.
So far I've been able to get them to root in the water, but the second I transfer them to soil something goes wrong and they die :( I use miracle grow soil.. what is going on :(
I don't grow them in soil to tell you what could be the problem.
keep them well watered in soil.
were to find this plant? can I find it in market?
Thank you for the question!
Ask friends, coworkers and neighbors - most owners would love to give you a cutting instead of through it away ;)
Look for it and ask any stores selling plants (HomeDepot, Wholefood, IKEA and etc).
All the best!
nice backround music
Thank you! This music is Bike Rides by The Green Orbs.
Michael this plant look amazing,can you tell me name this plant? I want have this plant.
The plant name is Wandering Jew.
All the best!
what's the difference between putting this in a jar of water vs overwatering it in soil?
Roots of overwatering plants growing in soil start rot. Rotting in overwatering soil happens due to bacteria that lives in soil.
Nice video, I can see the former plant was reddish but later on it became silver and sparkling tones. Is it possible because the sunlight?
Yes, it's possible.
Though, there are other interesting changes happens that I did not mention in the video. Well, I am working on a video update on this plant ;)
What causes the variation in wandering jews? I noticed mine is very silver but my mom's (and other's) are more blended purples and greens. Is it the plants' genetics, a matter of environment, age, all of the above?
I submerged the root of wandering jew in my aquarium its that okey??
The plant should be fine as long as the roots were washed clean from any dirt. And you have to keep the roots always submerged.
All the best on your adventure!
@@4me okey thanks👍
Can it grow fully underwater?
Suman Khadgi not in my settings. Every time I tried submerged underwater leaves get discoloration and die shortly.
ok tnx
Is this water special?
I use dechlorinated tap water in all my aquariums. There is nothing special about it. Check this video for details: ruclips.net/video/8ItBA19CrtQ/видео.html
Though, if you asking about color...check this video for details about background: ruclips.net/video/OcL-9Z8-1Uk/видео.html
All the best!
It looks like it is growing slow, I had one and it gained 30 cm in 5 months
The plant growth faster in soil than in water for more nutrition is available in soil. Though 30 cm in 5 months is as fast as it is about growth for plant growing with roots in water. Check out ending of my recent follow up video: ruclips.net/video/W67BimgimXk/видео.html
I've tried rooting with tap water. But after a few days, the stem only rotted. Did you add anything to the water?
I don't add anything to the water. Use dechlorinated water.
Michael Langerman thanks! Will try it out again.
You may need to cut off the rotten part. Also, it would be better to use water from an aquarium or place the stem in aquarium (water in aquarium is full of nutrition for plants ;)
Michael Langerman gotcha! Looking forward for your next videos.😀
Michael Langerman oh btw, is this setup placed near a bright window/area for the wandering jew to thrive?
How could you get blue colour ?
A bit of sorcery with a bit of wizardry and mostly...tilted background: ruclips.net/video/OcL-9Z8-1Uk/видео.html

Thanks for Sharing
My pleasure!
Why do you trim off the roots?
I did it to check if it would increase growing of secondary roots - it did not.
❤
Thank you!!
Some kinds of tradescantia zebrina produces flowers
My did not :(
is beautiful ekosistem
Thank you!
what is the light demand of this plant?
I keep my aquariums with fish next to the window but away from direct sunlight. You can see it at the beginning of this video: ruclips.net/video/eKDWgUO4VsM/видео.html
But my plant is not rooting 🙄
Plants are as people - everyone is different...may be your plant needs more time. Just keep it in water as long as it is alive, try to change location - move it closer to light or other way.
Wait about 3 weeks mine did the same thing
i just got a tiny cutting of a wandering jew plant and i had it in a small glass baby food jar for about 2 weeks and it developed lovely long white roots , i put it in some potting soil and it seems to be doing wonderful. i did seem to dry out a part of one leaf, but that was my mistake because i left it outside for a day (because i intended to have it grow outside for a while until i realized though research from today that direct sunlight is actually bad for them ) i was actually looking for a way to get the plant to look more voluminous and luscious and i found out through this video that it basically grows new branches on its own.
Nice Dear
Like 908
Thank you very much for this and all 908!!
No heat is needed?
The temperature in my apartment is 72-76 F all year around: ruclips.net/video/xCx1eUhXvE8/видео.html Works well for all my plants/ fish and...family :)
