dont forget to tell everyone that they LOVE direct sun! This makes their color more brilliant. At first, I thought it was a protective mechanism like the jade; however, I noticed with both the red and purple wandering jew, the color will go bright pink/red when exposed to direct sun and the plant grows thicker in the stems and seems happier!
Direct sun with some caution 😅
They're not typically sun-thriving plants, as they grow on the forest bottom; their leaves are delicate and too much direct sunlight will scorch them. That said, having them out in the sun for a while during the day can be beneficial and if you'll do, make sure it won't be in the prolonged periods of afternoon. My south-facing window gets sun from late morning till noon and my plants seem to love it. I would definitely avoid having them out in the sun for many hours, though.
A la mía nunca le gustó el sol y se me desmayó
Not direct sun but as much bright indirect you can give. Brightest spot but the plant shouldn't be able to "see" the sun
Not all tradescantia like direct sun. The ones you mention do though. I have the purple heart in direct Texas sun, and they grow like mad. Also when the sun gets stronger in Spring and Summer, they get a lot brighter and very beautiful 😊
It was super helpfull to see the progression on the growth. Makes it a little less scary to cut it back that much. Thanks for putting in the time and effort.
Glad it was helpful!
I’ve been inspired to start looking after my plants better.
Great to hear!
I just got this plant today and the first that I did was a RUclips search. I was elated to see one of the top results associated to your channel. Thanks to this video I learned about pruning and how to have more dense growth. Will give this a try.
Glad it was helpful!
Same!
i really love your channel, and especially your wit!
I appreciate that!
Brilliant. I'm going to give this a try with my Zebrina. Thanks!
No problem!
Thanks so much for sharing this! I think I'm going to try cutting one of mine back and go for the bushy look!
Go for it!
Very nice video, the plant look so healthy,very informative
Thank you very much!
Looked at mine, the one I sprayed with windex, it now needs a haircut. Really great video. I’ve learned a lot from you, thanks so very much.❤
Thanks for watching!
Definitely had a leggyness problem. She's bloomed, and hanging quite low at this point but I definitely want it to be more full. Quite informative
Thanks
I like what you did. I reckon if you keep pruning you’re gonna get a very bushy plant 🌱
Absolutely!
I just bought one of these in b and m bargain store for £3 was very impressed he's very Peggy though so this video was really helpful thank you
You bet!
Thank you for your vidéo i love tradescantias plants and i will do the same 😊
My pleasure 😊
Thank you
This video really helped me alot. I have a Tradescantia that I got from cuttings, and after watching this video I am now going to attempt to trim back to get some cuttings to repot. I will be following the directions in this video, and keeping my fingers crossed with the hope of not killing it.
UPDATE: Ok, I took cuttings from the mother plant, and planted them back into the pot to hopefully get it to become bushier. I really hope this works.
Hope it goes well for you! Be interested to know how it goes
Did it work?
I have the gold wing variety and it almost died. I cut it all up and put it in water and in just over a month, it’s now 3 times bigger. I can’t grow this plant in dirt, but I’m extremely successful with it in water.
Nice 👍
Thank you so much! This is information I needed. I'm grateful you detailed (and showed) that we need to cut ABOVE a leaf to prune it and BELOW the node to propagate it! This always confused me (where exactly to cut for each purpose)
Question: My wandering "dude" is EXTREMELY long (1 ft) compared to yours. Can I cut it in a few pieces to propagate if I take care to ensure the top is still the top and cutting below a node? Thanks 😊
Yea that will work nicely
How many stems do you initially put in the pot to start? I received cuttings initially and my plant just got leggy and not attractive so I keep cutting it back and replanting with the same problem happening. Would be super helpful to see a start to finish video on propagating and planting a bushy tradescantia. Thanks!
The more the merrier!
Thanks! Does this also work with the variation called nanouk?
Yes it does though it’s not quite as quick at growing
I'm having the hardest luck growing this plant. When I first got it the silver lines were silver and glittering. I repotted it and cut down the limpy leaves
It’s a tricky plant to keep looking it’s best. I’ve got a care video coming out soon about it
this is the same plant that I told you about that got the mealy bugs! I was able to save a total of 1/4th of it because the leaves HATE being wet. I have decided to use a systemic from now on. May I ask though, would you suggest allowing this plant to climb a moss pole?
This plant is more of a creeper than a climber so I wouldn't recommend a moss pole
did you replant the cuttings into that same plant?
Yeah it’s a good way to get bushy trads
Not all from the same root? Multiple clippings planted in pot?
I see at about 3:30 ty
After getting it to bush, will it eventually drape and hang?
Yes it will
My Tradescantia plant has become leggy and the new leaves that are growing are very small compared to the original leaves.
What should I do
Chop it back and give it more light
The thing if I cut them, it will produce smaller leaves which is ugly to me
Why smaller leaves?
@@SheffieldMadePlants I don't have any idea. It should be more bushier just like your plant but no, it become ugly once I cut them. I might be cutting it wrong.
Is it the green jew
After I trim the top of my wandering Jew the new leaves are so small
Is it in bright light?
Under plant light wanted more bushy instead of hanging down ,have no where to hang so when trimed top down leaves cam in small
hello, i have been having a lot of issues with mine is there any way we can get in touch and you can help me
I'm on Insta
Will always be a ugly plant inside.This is a plant thats not meant to be a house plant.
