I stuck mine straight into the soil and water it as I do with all my other plants outside or in a pot and have never had any issues with root rot. You just need good drainage. It is pretty hard to kill this plant. I got a lot of pieces from a friend's yard and I left them sitting for almost a week out of soil and water before I was finally able to plant them and they are all growing like crazy. Just know you will constantly be trimming this back as it grows rapidly and can take over an area or pot rather quickly. But if you are looking for some type of ground cover to fill an area or for full, lush planters, or maybe you can't be around flowers, then this plant is one that will work for that beautifully.
Yes Thank you! I have to agree the one I just planted in a pot outside has been growing like crazy. I can almost make a whole new plant from the original cutting. I wish I could take credit, like I have a green thumb but I think this plant is just really hardy. lol. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thank you for doing this video! I have an emotional reason for this that I would like to share with you. My mom died in Nov. 2000, that very same year she told me her real dad was Jewish. May 2001 I was diagnosed w/MS and neeless to say I was a wreck. My friend wanting to cheer me up took me to a yardsale (I had never been to one before). At this yardsale was a beautiful plant that I really felt drawn to, the lady doing yardsale told me the name of the plant and I was overcome with emotion, it was the wondering jew , I didn't blink I bought the plant. Unfortunately, sometime after I had the plant, I put the plant outside for some sun, and that night there was a freak Tennessee freeze and although I did everything I could to save the plant it died. It has been 18 years since I had that plant and seeing this video made me gasp when I saw the plant and heard the name! It made me think of my mom and how much comfort this plant brought to me. Again thank you for making this video, thought I would share this with you...you never know what someone will receive from a RUclips video. :)
OMG! Thank you for sharing this with me. Sometimes it's the little things that mean so much. I really appreciate you taking the time to tell me this and I'm glad my video sparked a positive emotion for you. Blessing to you. 💜
Hey! I just did the same experiment with my Wandering Jew. You did wonderfully! I want to share a tip that worked well for me: change the water every 2-3 days to make sure the water doesn’t grow bacteria. By the end of the first week, my cuttings had roots. By the end of the second week they had massively long white roots. In the video, your water looks yellow so I think you should change the water more often or stick to the 2-3 day water change period. 😇 The roots will grow faster and stronger. 💪🏼 The cuttings that I put in the soil reacted exactly how yours did: started growing and rooting faster than expected! 😃 Thank you for sharing your video! It is great to know that I am not alone trying out these kinds of experiments.
Oh that's a great tip. Someone else pointed out that I had some leaves in the water too and that probably added to the water becoming contaminated some. Next time I'll root some, I'll do this tip. Thanks so much!
I'm trying rescue one of these plants after it was left unwatered in an empty flat for about 3 months. The plant was fairly mature and quite leggy, but the stems have completely shrivelled up into tiny threads apart from the last third towards the tips, which are still very green and healthy. But now I've seen this video, I know what I can do. Thanks very much! I especially liked the before-and-after comparisons - I know what I can look forward to :)
Just got some from my stepmom and wanting to propagate, and plant some around the house. I don’t have a huge green thumb at all and wanting to educate myself on this plant because it is very beautiful to me.
Wandering Jew actually does very very well in the sunlight. The variegated leaves often turn solid purple in sunlight and produce the most beautiful tiny pink flowers. We have grown it for years inside and outdoors in the garden. It survived a few 113* days this summer as well as about three months of almost straight triple digit weather. No rain either. Of course I have to water it, but it does very well on its own.
I've found what you just mentioned to be so true. Mine did really well outside. Thanks for sharing. I hope others will try to grow it in sunny locations. This is a pretty plant.
Thanks for the video! I really appreciate the results! I'm propagating the same plant now, and I had more success in water with direct light. In general, it's best to get rid of any leaves that will be below the water line- it helps prevent rot.
Good job! I just took a few stems from a huge hedge outside my pharmacy today (that was especially dark purple) and plunked the nodes into water. I love how easy these are to propagate, and in no time at all you have new houseplants to keep or share the "sheen" with! I've loved this plant since I was a teenager, and the feeling never gets old even 50 years later! Have fun and thanks for sharing, your video(s) are informative and interesting. Well done! 👍❤
That is awesome! Thank you so much for your comment and for sharing. I love this plant too. It is really pretty and you're right, it ended up being really easy to propagate. 💚🙂
Thanks so much for your informative video! My landlord put two planter boxes outside in the front of my duplex apt and nothing he has planted has grown. Can't wait to try this!
I know this is a older video, but I wanted to add that this plant is so easy to grow that I've just laid the plant cuttings with the leaves side up on soil and after a short time it's rooted and spreads like wildfire. I grow this in my flower bed with morning sun and afternoon shade with great outcome as well. My plant always grow better and faster in soil than in water, but I don't fertilize the ones in water like I do the ones in soil. Has anyone used fertilizer in their plant that stays in water, if so what do you use? Thank you so much for your help, I've learned so much about certain houseplants that I've been scared to grow in the past. ❤️
H!i I had the same results when I put this plant outside. It grows, almost like a weed. Not so great inside the house, though. It got leggy for me, in the house. I think I should have tried some balanced- low-strength fertilizer for the water propagation once it developed roots. Maybe I'll try this as an experiment. 💚
Thank you for sharing this. My hubs got me a plant for mother’s/anniversary gift and I’m loving it. My mother had one many years ago and that’s how I come to love them. I never could find one but my hubs did. Again thank you and have a blessed day
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I didn’t know you could just pop it into the soil before it had roots! I’ll be trying that outside to use as a ground cover in a shady area during summer. I don’t think it will make it through the winter (zone 8), so I’ll take some cuttings indoors in late fall. I’ll keep it growing inside until I can move it outdoors again next spring! Woohoo!
This was very helpful. I like how you tried different ways of propagating it and showed the results of each one. I was given some starters of a wandering jew plant, which was doing well up until recently. It started to wilt from the root but the ends still look healthy. I suspect it may have been over watered with a little help from my family. I'm hoping to save it by using the technique you showed in the video.
just found this...thank you so much I just bought my first wandering jew. It's lovely and now I think, if I follow your instructions, i'll be able to keep it growing.
I was led to your video because my daughter has a very healthy, thriving Wandering Jew plant, so of course I want to propagate it for myself. Lol. Now I am not concerned about doing it. Thanks so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️
One way I’ve found good success with the soil method was using a good peat moss mix in a red soil cup, take another red soil cup and place it underneath your planted and perforated red solo cup. In between those 2 cups take something like a soda bottle cap. That is my mini bottom watering propitiation system on a budget :)
I love this video! I am perusing your others as well. I'm your new biggest fan!! I'm propagating some wandering Jew and I hope I have the success you did. Nice work girl!
Thank you for this video. Your instruction and guidance helped me to save and propagate a few stems that fell off of my inch plant. I'm hoping they will thrive🤞. Take care.
Love this video and experiment ❤️ I got my first wandering Jew cutting as an extra to a pothos cutting I bought in the mail today and I potted them similar to how you did and your results made me feel better about it 🤞😁
Swain Gang I got one today at Walmart but it looks so weak. I feel like it’s just a bunch of cuttings in a pot. When you pull them they come right out and the stems seem very fragile. I’m hoping with time they will strengthen. I’m assuming as easy as it is to propagate maybe they will grow stronger roots on their own.
It will strengthen. Especially, if you have a sunny window (bright light) it will flourish. Mine did really well when I put it outside but I think a sunny window or a bright room will work too. 🙂
Hello! Check out this video, in the very beginning, I have a picture of the updated wandering jew ruclips.net/video/6tuvxGiEQ_U/видео.html (House Plant Tour 2018). It did amazing in the outside pot. The indoor one became leggy and kind of thin.
AhSel Anne what kind of area are you in? These do good year round outside in my area from what I gather (I just got my first one)... I’m in the Sonoran low desert of Phoenix AZ... and I understand they do good in shade with only morning sun ... but I’ve seen people grow the kind that is solid purple in full sun in the ground in their front yards here in the desert... but this kind I’ve never seen growing in full sun... great work by the way ... doing a comparison is really helpful... anything that can be stuck into soil or a long term location is good to know about ... there are pluses and minuses to transplanting cuttings from water or a small temporary container
Check out the beginning of this video to see how it looked when I planted it outside...AMAZING Results ruclips.net/video/6tuvxGiEQ_U/видео.html. Thanks for watching!
CAN WE CUT A SINGLE STEM INTO MULTIPLE PARTS TO PROPAGATE FASTER?! ( #newbiegardener here. I love how this plant is fluorescent pink in the sunlight, and I’d like more more more as quickly as possible!!)
Appreciated seeing this type of video because I bought a massive Zebrina Pendulae and it kept growing and then the plant started terminating some of its vines. So I trimmed it and was not sure if I could just place the cuttings in soil. The water was initially how I started. But they started decaying and no roots after 2 weeks. So I saved what I could and placed them in dirt. Has anyone else dealt with a situation similar to that?
It's been some months now, how did your plant turn out. Water rooting has been a 50-50 experience. Sometimes it roots other times its roots. I found using bottled water or filter water works the best. Or water that has been sitting around for a few days🙂
Yes I put mine into Rex unlock in the spring and as long as it gets used to the sun it will bear it all summer long and be so purple and beautiful But be sure and put it out early
Wandering Jew loves the sun. I propagate my wandering Jew by breaking off branches of it and sticking it straight into the ground and watering it good and it immediately puts on roots and I just keep spreading it all around in my yard by snapping the limbs off when they get too long and stick them in the ground somewhere else. I have flowerbeds full of them all over my yard. Some get at least six hours of sun some only get one or two hours of sun the more sun they get the deeper purple they become. Our family has been growing this Plant for over 100 years and find that they are very easy and low maintenance, don’t require a lot of water however they will grow like crazy when you do water them a bunch.
Awesome😊. I have a Purple Heart that grows the exact same way as you describe. I didn't know that the Wandering Jew and the Purple Heart were from the same family of plants so I didn't know how to grow it but you are so correct I put this plant into a pot outside and grew like crazy. I definitely learned something while trying to propagate this plant. Have a blessed day. Thanks for your comment. 💚
Put it in a hanging basket. If you put it in the ground it will take over and also pets are often allergic to them and will suffer a skin allergy. So, hanging baskets are the solution for me.
Yes, I loved this color but it ended up getting dull in the house. I think you have a really nice sunny location with nice lighting in order fo tis plant to keep in color and sheen/shimmer.
Older video but I do love this!! First one that came up when YouTubing suprisingly!! I propagated some in water And got a few small roots in a day!!🥺💜 love the color of it too
I actually got a small cutting with a spider plant I got, it was under the pots inside the big pot, and well hopefully it grows, I wasn’t sure which one to get but I ended up with the spider plant, but it was like a two for one but hopefully it grows, wish me luck!
Thank you for such a nice video. I learned so much that should help as I am extending the Purple Hearts indoors from the patio. My thoughts, after watching your video, would be to propagate in water and transfer to potting soil. How did that work for you? Also, outdoors we have these in most areas around the house with the greatest production coming from those in full sun lite during summer months. These are a very hardy plants, in the Houston region, that make a very robust statement about having the ability to over come difficult situations such as draught and hurricanes. We absolutely have fallen in love with the Wandering Jew. Thanks again for the video.
Hey There. When I propagated straight into soil, outdoors, the wandering jew took off and grew like crazy. I just think it was too drafty in my home. While the plant did develop roots and I was able to transfer to soil it thrive much better outside. It's became leggy in the house. Thanks for watching and for your comment.🙂
Those are probably baby gnats and you need to act fast or you may end up with a gnat problem 😫. You can try to dry out the soil some in between watering. Topping the soil with a pumice stone or something that will smother out the baby gnats. I've also read that you can top the soil with cinnamon (I've never tried this but I heard it works.
Wandering Jew does well in soft, indirect sunlight. It will grow in bright sunlight but it bleaches the pretty green and purple colors. This plant makes a lovely ground cover especially under shady trees.
Idk. I did this in spring ,when the plant was thriving due to good sunlight and warm temperature. However, if you did this in a controlled environment., maybe with a grow light or in a bright warmer space, it may still work.
Hello, check out the beginning of this video, my House Plant Tour 2018. ruclips.net/video/6tuvxGiEQ_U/видео.html This is what the plant looks like in the outdoors. it did really well. I don't have it now because I converted a lot of my outdoor plants to veggies and herbs but it grew really well. This is area gets about 4 hours of direct sun and it grew like crazy..but it did lose some of its shine as the summer months went on. 💚
Hi! Did that white pot have a drainage hole? Just curious how well your plants do with pots that don't have one, indoor or outside. I find very pretty pots (literally pretty soup urns etc.) at fleas and thrift stores and drill a hole in the bottom just so I have that drainage hole that real gardeners say are necessary. What's your take on this? Be well.
Hello!!! It actually didn't have a hole, and i was afraid to drill one because this pot felt like it was made from clay or something that would crumble under heavy pressure. I really just had to monitor the amount of water I placed. I ended up moving this plant into another pot because it got leggy and I replaced it with a Queen Marble Pothos. I water it every 7-12 days and it has done amazing, even without drainage holes.
Hi, great video. Thanks for making a video with results. Oftentimes I watch a propagation video then wonder if it was successful. May I ask what type of soil are you using with this? Do you use a regular potting soil, potting soil with fertilizer or does it have to be a gritty soil that drains easily like the type used for succulents?
I just used some well draining soil that probably had some fertilizer in it. Nothing special...I took a piece and stuck it outside in a planter and it grew like crazy.💚😊
has your Wandering Jew plant produced blooms?? I just got my first WJ last month, and she gives me at least one flower a day!! I know these plants are said to not be a high maintenance plant, but I spoil mine with filtered water and turn her planter at least 3 times throughout the day lol. Thank you for your video!
Hi! I got it from Amazon a while ago. Here's a link so you can see the type amzn.to/2Qk2a0G. BTW I've been watching your channel for YEARS! Before the locks and the big chop like maybe 6 or 7 years. LOL :-) 💚😀
I took mine out of water and decided to pot her. I woke up the next day and she was all droopy and her roots were soggy. I took her out of that soil repotted her and made sure to water lightly. Wish me luck please if anyone has any tips. I figured she needed a lot of water so I’m sure that’s what it was.
Do the roots turn brown as they form? I am doing water propagation and a few days out the roots are a slimy moldy brown where they meet the plant but they don’t seem to be molding or rotting.
AhSel Anne from your video I think the problem might be that I left leaves on. I change the water everyday. We’ll see if the plant can still be saved. Thank you! 😊
Oh yeah that could definitely be it. Some one else suggested to me to make sure the leaves don’t touch the water. I ended up placing mine in soil and placed it in a sunny area and it worked very well.
There is a solid purple plant that may be in the wandering jew family called the Purple Heart. It grows like crazy here in Florida. I can't unalive it no matter what I do. 🙂
Hello, check out the beginning of this video, my House Plant Tour 2018. ruclips.net/video/6tuvxGiEQ_U/видео.html This is what the plant looks like in the outdoors. it did really well with the direct sun. The one that grew in my house was really leggy and I didn't have a great location in my home to make it thrive. I think a sunny location works best for this plant.
@@AhselAnneCrochet oh, ok. Thanks! I just watched it! I was curious, bc I had my Zebrina outdoors all summer and it got LUSH. I had to bring it in the house around October, and my baby is so sad now, lost all of its lushness. Its still alive, but it shed so much leaves and is leggy as all get out! I have started spritzing it everyday bc they like moisture and it seems to be doing better. The dry heat, just zapped it. Your collection is admirable, I love that snake plant!!
I'm honestly kinda scared... I'm trying to propogate mine right now and I'm scared I'm going to kill it. I replanted a branch/vine a few days ago, but the leaves are wilting. I have one branch left, and I'll probably try the water one with that one.
Good Luck. Mine did the best when I put it in a pot in the yard. It loved the Sun. It rooted in the house but it thrived in the yard. I'm in grow zone 8b, Florida.
@@AhselAnneCrochet That's actually crazy... I had mine indoors in direct sunlight and it burned like half of the leaves off! I'm in zone 6A and also in a dorm so I'm wary of putting things outside 😅
I stuck mine straight into the soil and water it as I do with all my other plants outside or in a pot and have never had any issues with root rot. You just need good drainage. It is pretty hard to kill this plant. I got a lot of pieces from a friend's yard and I left them sitting for almost a week out of soil and water before I was finally able to plant them and they are all growing like crazy. Just know you will constantly be trimming this back as it grows rapidly and can take over an area or pot rather quickly. But if you are looking for some type of ground cover to fill an area or for full, lush planters, or maybe you can't be around flowers, then this plant is one that will work for that beautifully.
Yes Thank you! I have to agree the one I just planted in a pot outside has been growing like crazy. I can almost make a whole new plant from the original cutting. I wish I could take credit, like I have a green thumb but I think this plant is just really hardy. lol. Thanks for the suggestion.

Get another piece from someone and grow another one. You'll always cherish the meaning behind having it.
Love this story
Hey! I just did the same experiment with my Wandering Jew. You did wonderfully! I want to share a tip that worked well for me: change the water every 2-3 days to make sure the water doesn’t grow bacteria. By the end of the first week, my cuttings had roots. By the end of the second week they had massively long white roots. In the video, your water looks yellow so I think you should change the water more often or stick to the 2-3 day water change period. 😇 The roots will grow faster and stronger. 💪🏼 The cuttings that I put in the soil reacted exactly how yours did: started growing and rooting faster than expected! 😃 Thank you for sharing your video! It is great to know that I am not alone trying out these kinds of experiments.
Oh that's a great tip. Someone else pointed out that I had some leaves in the water too and that probably added to the water becoming contaminated some. Next time I'll root some, I'll do this tip. Thanks so much!
I'm trying rescue one of these plants after it was left unwatered in an empty flat for about 3 months. The plant was fairly mature and quite leggy, but the stems have completely shrivelled up into tiny threads apart from the last third towards the tips, which are still very green and healthy. But now I've seen this video, I know what I can do. Thanks very much! I especially liked the before-and-after comparisons - I know what I can look forward to :)
Cool Beans! I Love rehabbing plants. I mean, I hate to see them neglected but when I can figure out how to fix them it's a win. Good Luck with yours!💚
Thank you for being transparent about being new to propagating this plant & showing before and after! Going to try this!
You're welcome. Thanks for your comment. 💚
I love this teaching video. I just got one and I love the shiny leaves too, wish me luck multiplying it. Thanks from Roseville California
LOL. Good Luck! You, got this 😀
I love your little fairy statue! I used to put little fairy statues in my garden and my pots!
Just got some from my stepmom and wanting to propagate, and plant some around the house. I don’t have a huge green thumb at all and wanting to educate myself on this plant because it is very beautiful to me.
Thank you for showing different ways to propagate this plant. It's helpful to see how it grew in each medium!

Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
Great detail about nodes and comparing results when propagating via water vs soil
Thank you! I appreciate your comment.
Thanks for the video! I really appreciate the results! I'm propagating the same plant now, and I had more success in water with direct light. In general, it's best to get rid of any leaves that will be below the water line- it helps prevent rot.
I agree, Direct Sunlight gave me the best results. Thanks for the tip about the leaves💚
I bought one recently..its a very beautiful plant..easy to propegate too..yes I love the colour and shine..thx
I know right. So pretty!💚

Thank you! I've had my wandering new cuttings in a cup of water. With no results for weeks. I think I'll follow your lead and plant them in soil.
Looove how thorough you are explaining your thoughts behind what you do. thank you!!
You are so welcome! Thank you for your kind comment. 💚
I just got it today and already want to fill 2-3 pots with it!! Happines is 'new roots' ...thanks for sharing your experience
Best of luck! This was a very pretty plant. It did better in my yard than the house but I think it needed a sunnier location. 🙂
This was very helpful. I like how you tried different ways of propagating it and showed the results of each one.

Thanks for the propagation between dirt & water. Very helpful
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for the feedback.
just found this...thank you so much I just bought my first wandering jew. It's lovely and now I think, if I follow your instructions, i'll be able to keep it growing.
Cool. I didn't mention in the video but make sure the leaves don't touch the water if your doing water propagation. Good luck with your plant. 💚
I was led to your video because my daughter has a very healthy, thriving Wandering Jew plant, so of course I want to propagate it for myself. Lol. Now I am not concerned about doing it. Thanks so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks! I love this plant especially when I grew it outside.
You did great with that plant. I have a plant like that. I did the same thing with mine. It is a beautiful plant.
Thank you.
I have purple heart and I live in Southern California where we get a lot of sun. I have found that it does really well in direct sunlight.
Yes, I have some purple heart growing outside, it's really hearty and grows back every season
One way I’ve found good success with the soil method was using a good peat moss mix in a red soil cup, take another red soil cup and place it underneath your planted and perforated red solo cup. In between those 2 cups take something like a soda bottle cap. That is my mini bottom watering propitiation system on a budget :)
I just got some cuttings today of a wandering jew. Thank you for your video!!!
You're welcome! Good Luck. 😊
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was looking for!
They are so delicate! I had so many fall off from gently touching them lol
Yes they are! but so still so pretty 🙂
Thanks so much I been propogating in water. You have given me ideas.
Wonderful!💚
My plant PC's did well in water and they are growing well in my window we get morning sun so I say at least 4 hours.
Thanks
I love this video! I am perusing your others as well. I'm your new biggest fan!! I'm propagating some wandering Jew and I hope I have the success you did. Nice work girl!
Lol, Thank you! I love plants and crocheting so I have a mixture of both on my channel. Thank you for checking out my other videos💚
Thank you for this video. Your instruction and guidance helped me to save and propagate a few stems that fell off of my inch plant. I'm hoping they will thrive🤞. Take care.
Wonderful! Thank you for your comment. I love saving distressed plants, sending you happy growing vibes.
Love this video and experiment ❤️ I got my first wandering Jew cutting as an extra to a pothos cutting I bought in the mail today and I potted them similar to how you did and your results made me feel better about it 🤞😁
Swain Gang I got one today at Walmart but it looks so weak. I feel like it’s just a bunch of cuttings in a pot. When you pull them they come right out and the stems seem very fragile. I’m hoping with time they will strengthen. I’m assuming as easy as it is to propagate maybe they will grow stronger roots on their own.
It will strengthen. Especially, if you have a sunny window (bright light) it will flourish. Mine did really well when I put it outside but I think a sunny window or a bright room will work too. 🙂
I just plucked mine into the water, I love this plant but I've been wanting to propagate something for the first time. Wish me luck yall!!!
Good Luck! Did you ever propagate it. 🙂
Nice video. My friend gave a few cuts in a tiny pot about 45 years ago. Easy enough.
Wow! I love it when plants stand the test of time. My oldest plant is 15yrs old .
Update this please. I am very interested in how things all turned out. Would be nice to see. #flowerchildrenunite
Hello! Check out this video, in the very beginning, I have a picture of the updated wandering jew
ruclips.net/video/6tuvxGiEQ_U/видео.html (House Plant Tour 2018). It did amazing in the outside pot. The indoor one became leggy and kind of thin.
AhSel Anne what kind of area are you in? These do good year round outside in my area from what I gather (I just got my first one)... I’m in the Sonoran low desert of Phoenix AZ... and I understand they do good in shade with only morning sun ... but I’ve seen people grow the kind that is solid purple in full sun in the ground in their front yards here in the desert... but this kind I’ve never seen growing in full sun... great work by the way ... doing a comparison is really helpful... anything that can be stuck into soil or a long term location is good to know about ... there are pluses and minuses to transplanting cuttings from water or a small temporary container
Wow I'm so happy I'm going to try in soil. Thank you❤️
Good luck!💚
This video was so helpful, thank you for posting what they look like after a couple of weeks too🤗
Check out the beginning of this video to see how it looked when I planted it outside...AMAZING Results ruclips.net/video/6tuvxGiEQ_U/видео.html. Thanks for watching!
Just got my first set of clippings after watching this o feel better wish me luck
Good Luck. 🙂
I have one and put it in water to propagate and it’s been about a week and the roots are growing like crazy
Awesome! This was a pretty plant.
CAN WE CUT A SINGLE STEM INTO MULTIPLE PARTS TO PROPAGATE FASTER?! ( #newbiegardener here. I love how this plant is fluorescent pink in the sunlight, and I’d like more more more as quickly as possible!!)
Appreciated seeing this type of video because I bought a massive Zebrina Pendulae and it kept growing and then the plant started terminating some of its vines. So I trimmed it and was not sure if I could just place the cuttings in soil. The water was initially how I started. But they started decaying and no roots after 2 weeks. So I saved what I could and placed them in dirt.
Has anyone else dealt with a situation similar to that?
It's been some months now, how did your plant turn out. Water rooting has been a 50-50 experience. Sometimes it roots other times its roots. I found using bottled water or filter water works the best. Or water that has been sitting around for a few days🙂
thanks for this, one of my cats just ripped mine apart and i needed to propagate. wonderful explanation and video
Glad it helped! Got to love our furry family members...😀😀
So I put a wandering jew clipping in water for about 5 weeks and I finally got a 2" root. I just planted today so we shall see
HOW OFTEN DID YOU WANTER THEM WHEN SOIL PROPAGATING
Excellent presentation on how tov
Glad it was helpful!
I love this! Thank you for sharing this!
You are so welcome!💚
Yes I put mine into Rex unlock in the spring and as long as it gets used to the sun it will bear it all summer long and be so purple and beautiful But be sure and put it out early
Thanks for the suggestions. This ended up being a beautiful plant. I loved it!💜
I love your video. I am waiting on some cuttings. You have really given me great information. Keep up the good work 😊
So nice of you, thank you so much!💚
I'm having a heck of a time getting my pirhos to root in the water so I tried the growth hormone straight into the soil this time
Did it work?
Wandering Jew loves the sun. I propagate my wandering Jew by breaking off branches of it and sticking it straight into the ground and watering it good and it immediately puts on roots and I just keep spreading it all around in my yard by snapping the limbs off when they get too long and stick them in the ground somewhere else. I have flowerbeds full of them all over my yard. Some get at least six hours of sun some only get one or two hours of sun the more sun they get the deeper purple they become. Our family has been growing this Plant for over 100 years and find that they are very easy and low maintenance, don’t require a lot of water however they will grow like crazy when you do water them a bunch.
Awesome😊. I have a Purple Heart that grows the exact same way as you describe. I didn't know that the Wandering Jew and the Purple Heart were from the same family of plants so I didn't know how to grow it but you are so correct I put this plant into a pot outside and grew like crazy. I definitely learned something while trying to propagate this plant. Have a blessed day. Thanks for your comment. 💚
Thank you so much!! Very very informative
You are so welcome! Thank you!
This looks fun! I’m going to try it
It was fun💚
Superb mam , from India - hare Krishna
Thank you.
This is a fabulous and informative video thank you
Thank you! I appreciated you comment. 💚
Put it in a hanging basket. If you put it in the ground it will take over and also pets are often allergic to them and will suffer a skin allergy. So, hanging baskets are the solution for me.
Yes, smart idea. This plant has been growing like crazy since I did this video.
AhSel Anne also give your plants black tea (including leaves). Great all year round fertiliser/ leaves compost and your plants will live it.
Your color is so pretty. I've had the very purple ones and bow have the zebra ones that I just planted that just rooted but never these
Yes, I loved this color but it ended up getting dull in the house. I think you have a really nice sunny location with nice lighting in order fo tis plant to keep in color and sheen/shimmer.
Right to the point. Thanks!
You're welcome!
Older video but I do love this!! First one that came up when YouTubing suprisingly!! I propagated some in water And got a few small roots in a day!!🥺💜 love the color of it too
That is awesome! This was a great plant to propagate. It did really well in sunny areas too, 😊
I put my clippings in water and did what I was supposed to do. But now the leaves are curling. What should I do?
Hi! Make sure they are in a warm, sunny location.
I actually got a small cutting with a spider plant I got, it was under the pots inside the big pot, and well hopefully it grows, I wasn’t sure which one to get but I ended up with the spider plant, but it was like a two for one but hopefully it grows, wish me luck!
Good Luck! You got this💚
Thank you for such a nice video. I learned so much that should help as I am extending the Purple Hearts indoors from the patio. My thoughts, after watching your video, would be to propagate in water and transfer to potting soil. How did that work for you?
Also, outdoors we have these in most areas around the house with the greatest production coming from those in full sun lite during summer months. These are a very hardy plants, in the Houston region, that make a very robust statement about having the ability to over come difficult situations such as draught and hurricanes. We absolutely have fallen in love with the Wandering Jew. Thanks again for the video.
Hey There. When I propagated straight into soil, outdoors, the wandering jew took off and grew like crazy. I just think it was too drafty in my home. While the plant did develop roots and I was able to transfer to soil it thrive much better outside. It's became leggy in the house. Thanks for watching and for your comment.🙂
I have fresh cuttings that have no roots what would be your recommendation to promote rooting . I really love wandering Jew Plants.
Just stick them in lukewarm water. Inside a container with a narrow neck so the leaves themselves aren't submerged.
i just got this plant...wondering how to deal with tiny flies hidding in soil...thanks.
Those are probably baby gnats and you need to act fast or you may end up with a gnat problem 😫. You can try to dry out the soil some in between watering. Topping the soil with a pumice stone or something that will smother out the baby gnats. I've also read that you can top the soil with cinnamon (I've never tried this but I heard it works.
Wandering Jew does well in soft, indirect sunlight. It will grow in bright sunlight but it bleaches the pretty green and purple colors. This plant makes a lovely ground cover especially under shady trees.
I have had wondering jews for years. They do best to put in soil and water.
What about doing this during the winter months?
Idk. I did this in spring ,when the plant was thriving due to good sunlight and warm temperature. However, if you did this in a controlled environment., maybe with a grow light or in a bright warmer space, it may still work.
Hi thanks for the video, did you let the end callous off before you put it in the water to propagate?
No, I probably should have with the one I placed in water. The ones I put in soil work perfectly and took off like a weed.
how did the outdoor one do? with my experience they get super dark with the more light they get and don't do bad with some short direct light!
Hello, check out the beginning of this video, my House Plant Tour 2018. ruclips.net/video/6tuvxGiEQ_U/видео.html This is what the plant looks like in the outdoors. it did really well. I don't have it now because I converted a lot of my outdoor plants to veggies and herbs but it grew really well. This is area gets about 4 hours of direct sun and it grew like crazy..but it did lose some of its shine as the summer months went on. 💚
I’m amazed at how sparkly Wandering Jew plants are! God’s glitter lol
Ikr. God's Glitter 💚
When I went to propagate mine I put it straight in water and it got really big roots - enough to plant - in three weeks
This plant ended up being a beast 💜. It really ended up doing well just from sticking it in the soil. It was pretty all summer long.
Hi! Did that white pot have a drainage hole? Just curious how well your plants do with pots that don't have one, indoor or outside. I find very pretty pots (literally pretty soup urns etc.) at fleas and thrift stores and drill a hole in the bottom just so I have that drainage hole that real gardeners say are necessary. What's your take on this? Be well.
Hello!!! It actually didn't have a hole, and i was afraid to drill one because this pot felt like it was made from clay or something that would crumble under heavy pressure. I really just had to monitor the amount of water I placed. I ended up moving this plant into another pot because it got leggy and I replaced it with a Queen Marble Pothos. I water it every 7-12 days and it has done amazing, even without drainage holes.
thank you miss lady
You're welcome! Thank you🙂.
Hi, great video. Thanks for making a video with results. Oftentimes I watch a propagation video then wonder if it was successful. May I ask what type of soil are you using with this? Do you use a regular potting soil, potting soil with fertilizer or does it have to be a gritty soil that drains easily like the type used for succulents?
I just used some well draining soil that probably had some fertilizer in it. Nothing special...I took a piece and stuck it outside in a planter and it grew like crazy.💚😊
Very helpful video thank you
Thank you!
has your Wandering Jew plant produced blooms?? I just got my first WJ last month, and she gives me at least one flower a day!! I know these plants are said to not be a high maintenance plant, but I spoil mine with filtered water and turn her planter at least 3 times throughout the day lol. Thank you for your video!
I put a piece outside and it did bloom, my purple heart which reminds me of a wandering jew, blooms all the time and it grows pretty rapid in my yard.
@@AhselAnneCrochet I haven’t adopted a Purple Heart tradescantia yet but I love this plant family.
I like the Squirty bottle.
Where did you get it?
Thanks.
Hi! I got it from Amazon a while ago. Here's a link so you can see the type amzn.to/2Qk2a0G. BTW I've been watching your channel for YEARS! Before the locks and the big chop like maybe 6 or 7 years. LOL :-) 💚😀
What kind of soil do you use for a Wandering-jew
Hi, any soil will work. After this video, I literally stuck a piece in a flower pot with some old flowers, and it grew like crazy.
how often do you change he water while propagating?
I changed the water every 7 to 10 days, whenever I think about it really. Just try to make sure the roots have fresh oxygen.
Hi, I was wondering how your wandering Jew under direct light did?
Hi sorry for the delay! it grew like crazy. ruclips.net/video/6tuvxGiEQ_U/видео.html around :06 I show wha it look like under direct sun light.
Did you change the water in the jar every 3 days?
No, I changed it when I remembered to do it every, 6-8 days and I found that using bottled water or something filter worked better.
I took mine out of water and decided to pot her. I woke up the next day and she was all droopy and her roots were soggy. I took her out of that soil repotted her and made sure to water lightly. Wish me luck please if anyone has any tips. I figured she needed a lot of water so I’m sure that’s what it was.
Do the roots turn brown as they form? I am doing water propagation and a few days out the roots are a slimy moldy brown where they meet the plant but they don’t seem to be molding or rotting.
Hello, my roots stayed white overall, cream tan color.. You may need to change out the water to make sure no bacteria is not forming.
AhSel Anne from your video I think the problem might be that I left leaves on. I change the water everyday. We’ll see if the plant can still be saved. Thank you! 😊
Oh yeah that could definitely be it. Some one else suggested to me to make sure the leaves don’t touch the water. I ended up placing mine in soil and placed it in a sunny area and it worked very well.
It has flowers?
Yes 🙂 under the right growing conditions it can put out a little purple flower.
Is there a solid purple wandering Jew ?
There is a solid purple plant that may be in the wandering jew family called the Purple Heart. It grows like crazy here in Florida. I can't unalive it no matter what I do. 🙂
please do an update!
Hello, check out the beginning of this video, my House Plant Tour 2018. ruclips.net/video/6tuvxGiEQ_U/видео.html
This is what the plant looks like in the outdoors. it did really well with the direct sun. The one that grew in my house was really leggy and I didn't have a great location in my home to make it thrive. I think a sunny location works best for this plant.
@@AhselAnneCrochet oh, ok. Thanks! I just watched it! I was curious, bc I had my Zebrina outdoors all summer and it got LUSH. I had to bring it in the house around October, and my baby is so sad now, lost all of its lushness. Its still alive, but it shed so much leaves and is leggy as all get out! I have started spritzing it everyday bc they like moisture and it seems to be doing better. The dry heat, just zapped it. Your collection is admirable, I love that snake plant!!
beautiful plant
Thank you!
Beautiful
Thank you!
Where we have to put it in the sun or inside the room
Hello, I had better success when I put it outside. So if you put it inside make sure it's in a sunny area.
Thanks for making this
My pleasure! 💚 Thank you!
I'm honestly kinda scared... I'm trying to propogate mine right now and I'm scared I'm going to kill it. I replanted a branch/vine a few days ago, but the leaves are wilting. I have one branch left, and I'll probably try the water one with that one.
Good Luck. Mine did the best when I put it in a pot in the yard. It loved the Sun. It rooted in the house but it thrived in the yard. I'm in grow zone 8b, Florida.
@@AhselAnneCrochet That's actually crazy... I had mine indoors in direct sunlight and it burned like half of the leaves off! I'm in zone 6A and also in a dorm so I'm wary of putting things outside 😅
Damn thank you for this!
You are so welcome!💚🙂
Is this indoor plant?
Not so much! Mine did much better outside in a bright sunny area
It needs full sun in order to maintain it's colour.
I would have to agree! The outside propagated plant did excellent outside.
Did they end up taking well? Whats the update ? Lol
