Most concise plant video! Almost skipped over it because it was 11 minutes but I got so much useful information. It was excellent and worth the 11 minutes. Thank you for the great tips😊

[elijahrojas]

I just wanted to share that this pace of video was perfect for me as a beginner. Thank you for teaching me how to take care of this little plant I've been desperate to protect!

Thank you for sharing, I actually have 2 of these hanging in my balcony in the warmer months (Im in the UK). Very easy to propagate.
I will bear in mind your tips for this year.

Wow, Dominika! This is a super helpful tutorial!👍 I don't have one of those gorgeous plants; however, I have many houseplants! For year, I heard folks say for us not to feed houseplants in the winter...this seemed strange to me since my plants were still growing!🤔
Thank you for this huge knowledge drop. Now, I also know how to keep my plants looking fuller.😃
You are a gem! That is such a great shot of you holding your big beautiful plant baby!😃
I'm looking forward to your next knowledge drop...it's gonna be another fun year! Gracias! 💕

I received 6 cuttings 6 weeks ago and this plant grows like a weed (in a good way). Thanks for the tips. I wasn’t sure how many cuttings I could incorporate back into the base of the plant but I see from your directions that I can certainly add more. Thanks for the information about the distance between leaf nodes. Very informative! I have tall patio windows that face northeast and my trad loves the lighting.

This is a fantastic care guide - thank you!
I got a couple of cuttings of tradescantia zebrina alongside a fishtail cactus in spring last year and, whilst it has done well and looked healthy (it flowered in the summer), I wanted to make it bushier so will follow your advice.
It was also good to hear it's beginner-proof - I'm gradually encouraging a friend to have more houseplants by gifting her young plants, so she'll definitely get a cutting of this one 😁.

That's an amazing plant! It's a challenge to make it look good hanging but also keep it bushy on top.

[Blastmaster]

Nice video! And right when I needed info about tradescantia, my dad rescued one, and gave me half of it. I'm definitely going to try propagating it to make it more "bushy:.

I just got a little one, your video will be very useful! I really love the silver sparkle on the leaves.
Yours is absolutely beautiful!

[ghengis]

Mine have grown healthy and bushy, and even flowered this year, but nothing like the length of yours. They do tend to be the least fussed over though, so I'll give them extra love.

[gillswift]

Such a fabulous plant Dominica and you have given me the confidence to try and grow my own. Thank you for so much helpful information.

[CitizenWatt]

Great format.. a few pics along it's journey would make it perfect!..

[dshuster]

This video was SO helpful, thank you! Your tradescantia is lovely! I'm a beginner, and I have been planting water propagated cuttings in the same small pots and wondering if I've been doing things foolishly wrong. This video helped me know the things I need to correct and inspired to keep at it.

[esoterika]

Mine did phenomenal in full sun during the summer. and it started as a few stems

[koolkeysnotes]

excellent explanation with useful tips.

[goctalis]

Very healthy and beautiful plant. I hat tradescantias too, but I didn* t had enough light for them and they got ugly.

[BohemianCocoNat]

I can never keep this one alive :( Ig goes skinny, leggy, and the base stems go super dry while the ends of the plans are still alive and growing new leaves

[thea]

So beautiful. Thank you for the video and I certainly believe that this plant can grow this much in a year. I have one and it grows with great vigor. Mine however is not particularly bushy so thank you for the tip to add additional stems. How many stems do you have in the pot if you don’t mind me asking. Best wishes for happy plants 🪴🪴🪴

[bradgoliphant]

Very Helpful Information. Thank you.
What about tips of leaves turing soft and black in color. Is that too much water?

[SEWalty]

What a beautiful plant! I'm definitely going to get one, I hope I can get it to look like yours..

Could you do a video on house ferns? I have one and it's doing pretty well, but I'd appreciate tips
Thanks 😊
