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.

@MarfaPavlovna Месяц назад

Yes! I'm excited to try making mine bushy by incorporating the cuttings in the pot, too.

Worm casting and house plants are magic! Thank you for great video!

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.

@17m2garden 6 месяцев назад

Oh, how cool! I love that they can be treated as indoor plants in winter and outdoor plants in summer 🤗! Good luck in the new gardening season 💚

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! 💕

@17m2garden 6 месяцев назад

I know, right! It's a myth that you shouldn't feed plants in winter. This applies to plants grown outdoors because we don't want to encourage new growth that could potentially be damaged by frost. But in the case of house plants a bit of fertilizer every now and then is totally fine 🤗🌱

@gillswift274 6 месяцев назад

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.

@Blastmaster1972 6 месяцев назад

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:.

@17m2garden 6 месяцев назад

Oh how nice of him! It's a great idea to start propagating it right from the start and fill the pot out with cuttings! Good luck with it , hope it grows beautifully for you 🌿🤞!

@ChristopherDraws 6 месяцев назад

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 😁.

@17m2garden 6 месяцев назад

Thanks a lot, glad you found it helpful! This friend is very lucky to get free plants from you haha! I think Tradescantia is a great option to start with because it is quite easy and grows quickly ☺️🌿

@goctalis3064 6 месяцев назад

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

@17m2garden 6 месяцев назад

Oh no so sorry to hear that! I have low light levels too, in winter I'm supplementing mine with a few hours of grow light, it helps it stay healthy until spring 🌱

@BohemianCocoNat 5 месяцев назад

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

@17m2garden 5 месяцев назад

Sorry to hear that! Try giving it more water - a really good soak once a week and make sure it's getting plenty of light, doesn't need to be in direct sunlight but at least on a bright windowsill (or very close to it) 🌿

@baileybreanna6602 3 месяца назад

I had mine in a south facing window sill for awhile and I had problems with it getting pick, thinning leaves or falling off getting leggy. Cut some up and put them on an east facing window sill. All leaves are hardish now and looking lovely. I water whenever it’s dry up to first knuckle. They love water, but their leaves do not!

@BohemianCocoNat 3 месяца назад

@@baileybreanna6602 Thank is a little hard for me to translate since I am on North Island of New Zealand. I have put a small grow light above it and it is doing better. I am ashamed to say that I haven't really been fertilising and it is probably a part of the overal improvement.

@maryannconklin7231 3 месяца назад

I had mine in sliding glass window, morning sun and some leaves dried up and turned brown. It doesn’t like the sunny window?

@katyalupochev9589 3 месяца назад

I find that trailing Tradescantias reach a “failure point”, where once they reach a foot or so long(or more depending on conditions), the weight of the lower leaves squeezes the vine against the pot and strangles it. Or, the vine simply produces too many leaves for one small set of roots to support. Since it likes to be crawling I’ve seen beautiful ones that are trained to crawl across the length of the pot, rooting from every node, before they’re allowed to trail over the edge. That gives each vine a larger root support network. Don’t give up, cuttings are cheap and worth experimenting on! Hope you get it to work ❤

Hello, I recently started to grow this plant from a cutting (I live in Mexico). After two years of having them, yesterday, I discovered webs.... like spider webs, very small web-like stuff where the leaf joins the stem. Is this a fungus? I am not a beginner regarding plants, however, I am with this plant. I assumed this was a fungus and separated the pots from the rest of my garden and sprayed them with a mix of vinegar and water. After a search on the web, I am still in the dark about what the web-like thingie is. Hope you can guide me! My plants are very pretty and would not want to loose them to a fungus!!!

@17m2garden 3 месяца назад

Hi! Take a good look at these spider webs and check the underside of the leaves. If you notice teeny-tiny "spiders" moving around in it, your plant is most likely attacked by spider mites. You did a good job separating the plant from the rest of your houseplant collection!

@milosflaca 3 месяца назад

@@17m2gardenthank you so much for replying!

@sunnysweetspot6499 2 месяца назад

Spider Mite attack!!!! Misting with water gets rid of them. It usually means conditions are too dry.

@bradgoliphant 19 дней назад

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

@17m2garden 3 дня назад

Hi, I'm glad this was helpful! Could be! Too much moisture will cause the foliage to rot and discolor, which could be either due to too much water or poor drainage.

@SEWalty 6 месяцев назад

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 😊

@17m2garden 6 месяцев назад

Thank you! I'm sure you'll succeed, these plants are not hard to please! I have more garden ferns than indoor ferns 😉, but I will keep that in mind! Thanks for the idea 🤗!

@user-zh7cy3ei7n 2 месяца назад

Hi. Thank you for the video, very helpful ✨ i got this plant recently, pretty small size, but the I noticed distance between leaves is almost 0, not an inch😅 like they grow right on top of each other. I dont even see stems, just closer to roots can be seen a little. And it grows forming weird shape because of it. May be you know the reason for that? Thank you!

@17m2garden 2 месяца назад

Hi! Mine was like that too when I bought it! But it should start to trail more elegantly as it grows, I don't think you have a reason to worry ☺️🌿

@debraslings9958 4 месяца назад

I have one stem starter of wandering jew. It’s about 7-8 inches long. East facing window, gets early morning sun. She looks healthy…I did have a few leaves dry out, and lost them. I don’t know what to do for her?! Fish fertilizer, or granular? I’ve tried both,,,,to not much success. Any suggestions, will be very helpful! Thanks you!!!

@Zorbakozak 10 дней назад

Right away, you can tell this video is full of misinformation. Look where the plant is in that kitchen. That plant needs much more light not stuck on some cabinet. Next thing three minutes into the video you can tell there’s no way that plant will grow that much in one year. Why in the world are people always saying they almost killed these plants? Sounds like they’re only looking for drama.

@17m2garden 10 дней назад

Hello! If you took time to actually watch the video until the end instead of jumping to wrong conclusions right away and insulting my work on this channel you could have perhaps learned something valuable from it ☺️ I did almost kill that plant while repotting it, because the root ball broke in half and the plant lost a ton of foliage, but I managed to make it full and bushy again thanks to cuttings and proper care. If you don't believe me that's okay, but don't accuse me of spreading misinformation based on your wrong assumptions. Happy Gardening!
