I had one large plant on my deck that got a beat up during a hail storm. I tossed the broken pieces down on the ground in a flower bed while cleaning up the messes left from the storm. About a week later I was cleaning out the flower bed and the pieces were all rooted, bare stems, leaves and full branches it didn't matter...they were taking off, lol. Love how easy they are to propagate :)
Diane this is why you are one of my favorites. Even though gardening is how you make your bread and butter...you have no problem sharing great info and seeds. All this free of charge not expecting a thing in return you are awesome : )
I love this plant and I have been wanting to grow it. It reminds me of my Grandmother who always grew it in her house. I haven' t done a lot of propagating and in fact have been a little intimidated by it. Thanks for going through all the steps and then showing the results. Blessings!
I had one of these as my first houseplant and didn't know yet how to water properly and killed it..I wish I still had it...That one looked like it was about to explode it was so full! I didn't even know that they get buds. I'm gonna look for another one this year. Those babies are so beautiful. You did a great job! I never get tired of watching your videos. Thanks so much!
I have one and by mistake killed it. It was so small to begin with. so i put the container it was in under my work bench and it started growing leaves like crazy. Now it is twice as big as when i started with it. They are so beautiful and hardy. I am so glad i didn't kill it off.
Throw the leaves in the compost pile?? Shoot, Deb would juice em!! LOL!! You gotta watch her. If it sits long...ziiiiipppp. It's juice! Diane, you're very knowledgeable at what you do, and seem to really enjoy doing it! A great combination! Thanks for sharin.
Oh, I got one of these too in the spring. and I had to repot it with some better soil. A lot of pieces just broke away during that process and I just tossed them in an empty container with fresh potting soil and they rooted on their own and just too off. I'm going to be repotting and giving these as gifts too. Love the video.
Yours sure looks nice and compact. Back in 2007, where I went to Hort. school, they had one in the greenhouse but it was very leggy. Maybe it was just never cut back?
I love propagating indoor plants. Aloe Vera is one of my favourite as it has the roots already. Nice that you are doing experiments. Did you ever find cutting the tops of makes for better rooting. You get more new leaf growth. I found it makes a bit of a difference. What do you think :) Thanks for the video.
Great video, I've got two of these plants that were given to me as gifts, and they are now about a foot long each. I'm going to try propagating them one of these days now.
@TheOntarioGardener well I bought the plant this way.. wondered what they did to it..LOL .. I was wondering if I would even be able to get any cuttings from it but I did..
Thank you. your video came in handy! Did you know that this plant is edible to Tortoises? I was researching how to plant my own!! And you showed me!! U live in Texas, we have theses all over the place, it is a wild plant, so I just need to cut some for my self to regrow my own!! Thank you so much!!!! :)
I have these in a corner of my garden that my grandmother planted..The take over everything. The more I pull them out the more they come in same with creeping Charlie..I can't get rid of them. Any suggestions on how to get rid of the garden ones?
When you buy at the store the plants must be grown differently, like a growth retardant.. mine have gotten leggy as well.. Wandering Jew plants can do well even with neglect, so you can let the soil just dry out between waterings. Cut back on watering during the winter months. ... Unfortunately, Wandering Jew plants don't age very well-they typically only last for a few years before they begin to look leggy, bare, and untidy
@@dianemummvideos Thanks for the response. Mine looked amazing all summer while outside. Now I'm taking cuttings from the leggy spots and starting new pots. Those little guys will start roots in a single day. Amazing!
@workwithnature yeah it probably would just like any trim it would then dissect into new shoots but they are growing like mad this way too.. but a good option
@tigereyes8961 you must live in a warm winter then.. they would die here.. so just a houseplant ..you can dig them out but you must get them all .. cause they root pretty darn fast..
These look amazing! How do you get the leaves to grow so close to one another so they look almost stacked? Mine have a couple inches between each set of leaves so they look “leggy” instead of bushy.
do you have to start them in a plastic container covered or can you put right in a 4 in pot?? getting some cuttings in the mail and have never had wandering jews
im new at this sort of stuff with plants and i have a question that i cant find the answer to on the internet. can you take multiple cuttings from the same stem of the plant? so we took cuttings as a class project in horticulture last year, and mine grew great. my original cutting has grown to be about 2.5 to 3 feet long now with a few other stems coming off of that one. a few weeks ago i took a cutting from one of those branches and planted it in the same pot and that one is growing even better than the original. where i took the cutting from has not grown back, so im assuming thats normal. so i want my plant to be more bush-like as yours is in the beginning of the video instead of a long vine-like plant with a few branches coming from it. can i just go down the line of that original cutting and take a bunch of cuttings from the main stem, or will they not grow? thanks, and sorry if this has an obvious answer, i clearly dont know what im doing haha.

One of my favorite plants,thank you for sharing your brilliant ideas!😆🥰🥰💕
You are so welcome!

rankindragon It was my first plant too. I killed mine with water too. Nice to get a second chance now.
I've started these in straight water. Trimmed off leaves to get a nice stem, then keep in a container with water, creates a great root system.
I have one and by mistake killed it. It was so small to begin with. so i put the container it was in under my work bench and it started growing leaves like crazy. Now it is twice as big as when i started with it. They are so beautiful and hardy. I am so glad i didn't kill it off.

That was a cool video... That is kinda like rooting tomato suckers. That was nice. Good job.
absolutely one of my favorite plants.
@texgardener1 it is a 70's-80's plant but they say it is really making a comeback.. thanks so much , come again..
Yours sure looks nice and compact. Back in 2007, where I went to Hort. school, they had one in the greenhouse but it was very leggy. Maybe it was just never cut back?

great, easy to follow video......thanks, diane!
Great video, I've got two of these plants that were given to me as gifts, and they are now about a foot long each. I'm going to try propagating them one of these days now.
good luck it is pretty easy..
Very good at explaining things
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative video! Liked the facebook page and got the site bookmarked! Thanks so much!
Those should do nicely, such nice big cuttings!
@TheOntarioGardener well I bought the plant this way.. wondered what they did to it..LOL .. I was wondering if I would even be able to get any cuttings from it but I did..
I would make cuttings , repot the main plant with some better soil... the cuttings take root in soil or water really well.. good luck!
@dianemummvideos Ahh I see. So they are "normally" a bit lengthy?
@Planting81 thank you.. I hope it helps.. I get lots out of feedback those that take the time to watch, the support is great..
Thank you. your video came in handy! Did you know that this plant is edible to Tortoises? I was researching how to plant my own!! And you showed me!! U live in Texas, we have theses all over the place, it is a wild plant, so I just need to cut some for my self to regrow
my own!! Thank you so much!!!! :)
how do you get such thicck and bushy wandering jew plants
your plant looks beautiful
@dianemummvideos Love the videos keep them coming :)
Thanks for the info!!! Very informative:)
I have these in a corner of my garden that my grandmother planted..The take over everything. The more I pull them out the more they come in same with creeping Charlie..I can't get rid of them. Any suggestions on how to get rid of the garden ones?
I'm using mine as ground cover.
In South Los Angeles.
It's so beautiful.
I bet that is beautiful!
That's really cool how u did that! Didn't know u could do such a thing! lol =)
i have them things by my front porch they take over everything they look nice so i dont mind much
they are pretty plants , do you sell them ?
yes I basically just pull them up carefully and replanted them , you can also direct plant in a pot or root in water.. all will work..
@workwithnature thank you this means a lot truly, thanks for coming by .. and taking time to comment.. I will remember you..:)
Your plants are thick and bushy. Mine tend to get very leggy. Is my problem too little light or ??
I'm in south central PA.

they also root really well in just a container of water.
@GrdnovGreens I believe it.. they root all the way up the stem the way it looks to me..
@workwithnature yeah it probably would just like any trim it would then dissect into new shoots but they are growing like mad this way too.. but a good option
Well made video. Thank you!
thank you Kenner
I was given a wandering jew plant that is rather "leggy" and dry. Can you tell me what I can do to rescue this poor thing?
@tigereyes8961 you must live in a warm winter then.. they would die here.. so just a houseplant ..you can dig them out but you must get them all .. cause they root pretty darn fast..
What temp is you heating pad, and what lighting do you use? :)
These look amazing! How do you get the leaves to grow so close to one another so they look almost stacked? Mine have a couple inches between each set of leaves so they look “leggy” instead of bushy.
probably the lighting..
How much shekels do I need to water it with?
what brand rooting hormone did you use? i need some desperately.
How do you get your leafs so tight, my wondering jew is a lot leggier.
mine got that way too.. started out tight from the grower but change probably because of lighting..
@rankindragon thanks Audra, I have mine in my east window probably water maybe once a week so far doing well..
My wondering jew leaves are turning brown and drying out. Can u tell me why?
are they possibly too dry?
do you have to start them in a plastic container covered or can you put right in a 4 in pot?? getting some cuttings in the mail and have never had wandering jews
Jenn Lefrancois you can root right in the soil,even water too..
@Incredibleisaac2 you are welcome Isaac, thanks for watching!
You don't even have to cover them. Just stick them into the soil.
@gardener3434 thank you, probably one of the easiest propagation's ever..
im new at this sort of stuff with plants and i have a question that i cant find the answer to on the internet. can you take multiple cuttings from the same stem of the plant? so we took cuttings as a class project in horticulture last year, and mine grew great. my original cutting has grown to be about 2.5 to 3 feet long now with a few other stems coming off of that one. a few weeks ago i took a cutting from one of those branches and planted it in the same pot and that one is growing even better than the original. where i took the cutting from has not grown back, so im assuming thats normal. so i want my plant to be more bush-like as yours is in the beginning of the video instead of a long vine-like plant with a few branches coming from it. can i just go down the line of that original cutting and take a bunch of cuttings from the main stem, or will they not grow? thanks, and sorry if this has an obvious answer, i clearly dont know what im doing haha.
yes you can.. take multiple cuttings from one section of the plant...
Can you root in water without the root hormone?
+oxford pictionary yes you can I have some rooting in water right now, I just like to give other ways of propagating..
oxford pictionary ya, I had mine for 6 months now lol but they're healthy :)
@workwithnature ..if they grow more long than wide I'll probably do another trim right at transplant..
@twhiteartist kinda grows like a weed I mean it does I have heard in warmer areas, but nice as just a houseplant here.. thanks for commenting..
@MatthewLeelev it was one of the easiet plants to propagate I must say..:)
@carrottop8311987 I have heard they like to take over.. thank goodness they won't winter here..
@chikkagrl can be done too..
Actually, all you need to do with these is put the cuttings in a glass of water for a few days. instant root systems form, plant and enjoy.
Классный цветы!!
Спасибо за видео.
Hola alguen me podria traducir en español que es lo primero que le pone ala planta como pasta gracias
Le pone un enraizante o hormona de crecimiento para la raíz, de eso modo enriza más rápido, saludos!
@dalecalder2003 nope and I added that to the video, doesn't need it grows like a weed.. LOl
@geocache6553 thank you.. also called Tradescantia
There doesn't seem to have been any advantage to using the rooting compound at least not with this plant.
yes, this is propagation of a houseplant
@bbsmith45 , well if I have some later in May I may.. :)
en español ,gracias
I see. Regardless, I very much like your Jewish plants. Thank you.
schultz
I would make cuttings , repot the main plant with some better soil... the cuttings take root in soil or water really well.. good luck!
