You may be over or under watering it 🤔 Imo they're so easy to grow, you should give it another go! 🙂 I've got my tradescantias in an Eastern window (bright morning sun) I rotate them once every couple days or so & water only when the soil is dry all the way through because they tend to rot if the soil is too moist for long periods of time. Good luck to you! 🌿💚🌿

A trick for repotting difficult plants - take the plant out of the old pot, then use the old pot as a placeholder to pack soil around inside the new pot. Then carefully switch the old empty pot with the rootball.

@incognitotorpedo42 11 ай бұрын

Bad soil? Not enough nutrients? Not enough light? Too dry? Try taking a bunch of cuttings like he did here. Fill a pot with new potting soil, and poke holes in the soil with a chopstick, pencil, or similar. Put a cutting in each hole and tamp the soil around it. It works best to put a lot of cuttings in a single pot. The just water it when the soil gets dry on top. When the cutting start to get longer, snip off the tips to force them to branch.

I never could grow it in the past because I treated it like my other plants. However, after I went to Iguazu Falls between Brazil and Argentina, I saw it growing wild everywhere, by waterfalls and along the sidewalk. Yes, it grew like weeds. I then realized it probably needed more humidity and sun than what I was giving it in the winter. I finally have two who made it through winter. Lots of misting. Now I know how to make them bushy. Wish me luck.

@maricarol85 10 ай бұрын

Thanks so much for this informative video. My mother recently passed away in a nursing facility. I had taken her a wandering Jew plant there, and it did well for quite a while. I've taken it back home since, and it's starting to die off. I suspect its rootbound, and maybe I watered it too much. I'm going to repot it ASAP with good quality soil, and maybe try to propagate a few trimmings in case the main plant doesn't make it. These are beautiful plants, but I want this one to live for sentimental reasons.

It grows in complete shade on the north side of our house, even blooms. More sun though means more blooms and more purple instead of green. In the winter it turns to mush which can look pretty bad, but it always springs back even after last years big freeze here in central Texas. We have inland sea oats mixed in, another deep-shade tolerate self-propagating plant that is especially beautiful in the winter.

I put Zebrina around 5 terracotta pots of my Persian Shield as a spiller deco plant. Yes, the combination of this two looks soooo gorgeous! Both have purple hue that compliment each other. Both are hardy plants but.... as Zebrina an extremely fast-growing plants, they consume more spaces in those pots as time goes by. The roots, though so shallow (they are creeper/climber/hanger) tangle up with PS - it's hard to PS to compete for food with this vigorously plant! So what I separated them to allow PS have more room for roots. As Zebrina, as they were elongated about half metre in just 2 months, I put it in hanging container & few of them as ground cover. Still looks pretty awesome to my eyes. I'm from Malaysia.

Thanks for the info. I've seen these but never purchased one. The purple variety is growing all over my yard in South Florida and was here when I moved in. It's a hardy plant for sure.

You can say that for sure! Very hardy

My biggest issue with these are their brittleness - just standing close to them branches seem to break off, LOL. They do grow like gangbusters though! (all types)

hi, kevin. i had one years ago when i was younger and i found one 6 months ago that i liked the appearance. it has tiny green leaves, a dwarf variety. and it's growing full speed under a grow light. A very easy growing habit. i think i'm gonna cut the growing tips to make it a bit denser. nice video. thanks, carmine.

Can I pinch the growing tips to encourage branching? Mine always get too leggy.

@@brendamaun5455 yes you can pinch the growing tips of trads. i usually take more off to root that piece and make new plants.

@@carminepetracca7518 TY. I have rooted lots of cuttings to resell. I couldn't believe none of my local greenhouses in central PA sold this. I finally found another reseller and got some cuttings from her.

I got one of these as a gift from a friend moving out of town. He'd had it for a few years and it's a leggy lady. Not bushy at all and half is vines were brown and dead at the middle and root . But still green at the ends. I took them away and kept what still lively bits i could. First time with this one. Dunno what im doing🙃 thank you for sharing this video

My trick is to soak a plant really well BEFORE I transplant them. This makes the testing away of the roots easier and this gives them a really good start the new soil.

My mother-in-law gave me one of these, and I let it dry out too much, leaving just one little sprig alive. I stuck it in a big planter outside where I stick miscellaneous things rather than tossing them. That little sprig has grown into a huge, lush plant. It's a shame that when I take cuttings and pot for indoors, they never thrive, they get spindly. Too much a/c and dry air. The constant humidity (Central Florida) is a perfect environment outdoors!
