BARE STEMS ON TRADESCANTIA ZEBRINA - TRY THIS!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 июл 2024
- In today's video, we take a look at 'BARE STEMS ON TRADESCANTIA ZEBRINA' which happens to older trailing plants - i.e. the older leaves further up the stems crisp up and die, leaving long bare stems. I show you a younger Wandering Jew which still has all its leaves, then an older one that has begun to get leaf die-back. I then explain why I think it happens, and I show you a 'work-around' tip, which gives you a constantly renewing and rejeuvenating Tradescantia. I've done this technique successfully with Tradescantia Red Jewel and Tradescantia Zebrina.

Wonderful information! I thought my plant was dying, I ended up taking cuttings to start over again, now I know to trim it :)
Glad you found it useful! I've loads of Tradescantia videos that might help you. This is one of my most popular ones: ruclips.net/video/M5ZNYSpzUTQ/видео.html
Thank you for the information, I was looking for it!
Glad it was helpful!
Really helpful video. Thanks for making it👍
Thanks Kim I'm glad you enjoyed it! I've actually just released a video tour of all my Tradescantia - 26 varieties in all if you're interested. Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/-TIv7p5fA6s/видео.html
Thank you for this! I appreciate the advice.
Glad it was helpful! I've got loads of videos on Tradescantia if you're interested. Can't say I have all the answers but I usually have a few insights, if only through my own errors!
Amazing video! Thank you 😎
Glad you liked it!
Love your explanations
Thank you! 😀
Thank you! I love these plants and videos! I do wish I had more varieties, but for the ones I have these videos are very helpful!
Glad you enjoy them! Have you seen this one with all my varieties shown? (I've acquired even more since I made this!) ruclips.net/video/-TIv7p5fA6s/видео.html
No I haven’t! I should though!
Thank you!
My pleasure. 😃
Yes, thank you! I really pruned mine back because it looked so "leggy". I thought I had killed it. Now I know what to do next time. Add to that the pinching off and hopefully it will be bushier in the future.
Glad to hear you've 'sussed it out'! It's just a continual process of propagate and renew. The only 'plant' I've ever had of Tradescantia where it hasn't yet developed leggy stems with dead leaves is the one I did in a long bag where I rooted it along the length of each stem.
Thank you for this! you answered most of the questions ive had in this short video compared to others ive watched before. But was curious, what kind of soil do you use for them and what method of watering?
Glad it was helpful! Tradescantia are happy in a general purpose media - I've even started using coir recently with no problems. I leave them to dry out - and most hybrids are happy to dry out - top watering - although I've heard bottom watering is fine too. There are some hybrids that prefer to be slightly moist. I've a video coming out this week which shows you an example of one that prefers moist media and shade.
Thanks for this video. I really like this plant. My tradescantia doesn’t trail far down (just about 30 cm) before starting to bend upwards. I was wondering if your long trailing plants were trailed horizontally before hanging them down?
Yeah they'll always start to bend upwards eventually - against gravity. Nothing will prevent that. However, I very often grow them horizontally first as that's the way they prefer to grow - then hang them when I get the required length.
Hey, news to your channel and learnt so much already. Could you provide any links on where you order your tradescantia samples from? I have two Sabrina’s but want to get more variety. Many thanks!
Glad to be of service Mel! To be honest, I bought all my Tradescantia from different sources - but all off eBay. They're so easy to root that providing they're not being posted in freezing temperatures they're likely to survive the journey. Just look for a good seller with a percentage of 'positive feedback' over 99% and you should do OK.
@@Grow_Up_Man55 amazing thank you, was looking at eBay and Etsy earlier so I will do place an order. Sunday is my plant care day and I just tidied up my huge tradescantia following the advice from your video. Big thank you again, great content keep it up! 👍🏻
@@melowen9722 Thanks Mel I appreciate your kind comments! 😃
Can I do the same with the sillamontana? Also, can I propagate the bare stems with no leaves in a propagation box? I am trying to save one I found in the office.
Trad. sillamontana is different from the zebrina varieties in that you can almost treat it like a cactus. Higher humidity and too frequent watering will kill it and that's the reason I've struggled to get mine to thrive. They grow in arid places - and arid definitely does NOT describe my greenhouse! However, if you can keep it on the dry side it'll be fine. It'll grow upright initially then flop over and start to root along the ground in the same way as other varieties. So yes you should be able to root it easily enough. I would say you'll need at least a few leaves on a cutting for it to properly root. good luck!
@@Grow_Up_Man55 thank you soo much.
can you just wrap the bare part in the soil and new growth will start? or do you have to cut it?
If there is a viable leaf node then yeah you can layer it - or wrap it in sphagnum.

Got my 25 tolumnia today, they look superb. But they was abit cold...1 euro each...take a look. ibb.co/ZNvHKyk its a specie not hybrids heh.
Weird this has just popped up in RUclips studio! How are they doing?
@@Grow_Up_Man55 youtube is acting weird at times, and yeah they doing fine 😏
Not my favorite plant..too leggy and plain Jane
Mine neither! I like it as a backdrop to the more showy plants, but for some reason, the Tradescantia videos are way more popular than any others I make - so I continue to make them...🤷♂️
@@Grow_Up_Man55 that crazy.. your other plants are gorgeous
It's a bit weird I must admit. 😂
