If you’ve struggled growing tradescantias, here’s some tips ⬇️

Growing outside: No direct sunlight. The bright sun on the foliage can burn the leaves but a shaded spot on your porch would be great. Because of the airflow and light they are receiving they will need to be watered much more often. I don’t allow to completely dry out outside. I water when about 50 percent dry.

Growing inside:

A bright sunny window inside and that will also keep the beautiful color on it too. Low light will cause it to grow leggy and lose the variegation. I do let dry out almost completely then I water throughly, they are prone to stem rot.

You will come across crisp on the leaves. Don’t be alarmed. Chop the dead leaves as you see them and you can also propagate in your propagation method of choice or even directly in the soil like I showed.

Love my purple baby!! I bought her as a tiny cutting and she’s blessed me with so many plants! I’ve even given some away! Thank you for sharing your experience with growing her outdoors with her family 😍

Pink nanouk was the plant that got me into plants. I found 4 cuttings in the recycling room and thought "wow, those are gorgeous! I'll put them in some water until they die." Then they didn't die. They got roots! I had NO idea that was a thing lol. So i googled it, learned about propagation and my plant journey began. It's been two years, my nanouk is huge. I've already given away 3 of it's babies and have another one on my porch waiting to be gifted as well. It is my most complimented plant, as well as my zebrina. They're survivors and can live through damn near anything!

I LOVE tradacantias!!! They've been a challenge in the past, but I finally found their happy place in my house and they're growing BEAUTIFULLY!

I have the two purple ones, they will not die! They are so forgiving. Even with a completely rotted stem or forget to water for a month, they just grow longer.

I love these plants (and your videos). I started with a small two inch piece a friend gave me. Now I have three hanging baskets and have given some away. It’s such a great plant.

Also known as the Wandering Jew. I love these! I’m shocked I’ve managed to keep mine alive AND propagate some!

I have the baby bunny belly tradescantia. I love the green on top of its leaves and purple undersides. And I can't help stroking a finger along a leaf or two, they're so velvety soft.

The wandering Jew! Gotta love such a strong-willed plant!

I just picked up those exact same varieties from a plant nursery in Franklin, IN a few days ago. If you have this plant indoors I found that they enjoy morning sun only. Any other time of day will be too harsh for direct window light.

My purple wandering Jew is my baby darlin'!!! I love her with all my LIFE! And I cut branches to propagate so others can enjoy too. Obsessed.

[karlanaranjo]

I have some in a planter as well! Such beautiful plants with color

[Queenofthemean]

I’m definitely doing this one. They are beautiful and I’ve been looking for some more color.
