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.

@SheffieldMadePlants Год назад

Glad it was helpful!

@meganpahl3612 Год назад

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!

@SheffieldMadePlants Год назад

Direct sun with some caution 😅

@HiddenRefuge Год назад

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

@cadaverdoggs421 6 месяцев назад

Not direct sun but as much bright indirect you can give. Brightest spot but the plant shouldn't be able to "see" the sun

@ladylove34 3 месяца назад

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 😊

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 RU-vid 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.

@RainCheck797 Месяц назад

Same!

@petrichoreevee6224 Год назад

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

@SheffieldMadePlants Год назад

Thanks

@grat2010 2 года назад

Brilliant. I'm going to give this a try with my Zebrina. Thanks!

@SheffieldMadePlants 2 года назад

No problem!

@katattack907 11 месяцев назад

Thanks so much for sharing this! I think I'm going to try cutting one of mine back and go for the bushy look!

@SheffieldMadePlants 11 месяцев назад

Go for it!

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.❤

@amgardeningwithajit9929 2 года назад

Very nice video, the plant look so healthy,very informative

@SheffieldMadePlants 2 года назад

Thank you very much!

@margaretchiodo-keller4495 Год назад

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.

@SheffieldMadePlants Год назад

Hope it goes well for you! Be interested to know how it goes

@Never-mind1919 5 месяцев назад

Did it work?

@missj9908 2 года назад

I like what you did. I reckon if you keep pruning you’re gonna get a very bushy plant 🌱

@SheffieldMadePlants 2 года назад

Absolutely!

Thank you for your vidéo i love tradescantias plants and i will do the same 😊

@SheffieldMadePlants 11 месяцев назад

My pleasure 😊

@mike1968442 Год назад

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.

@SheffieldMadePlants Год назад

Nice 👍

@sam76861 Год назад

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!

@SheffieldMadePlants Год назад

The more the merrier!

@crissieburdette4654 5 месяцев назад

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 😊

@SheffieldMadePlants 5 месяцев назад

Yea that will work nicely

@kirin7409 Год назад

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

@SheffieldMadePlants Год назад

It’s a tricky plant to keep looking it’s best. I’ve got a care video coming out soon about it

@meganpahl3612 Год назад

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?

@SheffieldMadePlants Год назад

This plant is more of a creeper than a climber so I wouldn't recommend a moss pole

@keeganwhite203 11 месяцев назад

Thanks! Does this also work with the variation called nanouk?

@SheffieldMadePlants 11 месяцев назад

Yes it does though it’s not quite as quick at growing

@oliviaderose5782 Месяц назад

did you replant the cuttings into that same plant?

@SheffieldMadePlants Месяц назад

Yeah it’s a good way to get bushy trads

@sandworm3 9 месяцев назад

@cassandramartina7765 11 месяцев назад

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

@SheffieldMadePlants 11 месяцев назад

Chop it back and give it more light

@Jaylene2191 4 месяца назад

After getting it to bush, will it eventually drape and hang?

@SheffieldMadePlants 4 месяца назад

Yes it will

@rubbenn91 Год назад

The thing if I cut them, it will produce smaller leaves which is ugly to me

@SheffieldMadePlants Год назад

Why smaller leaves?

@rubbenn91 Год назад

@@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.
