Rescuing my Tradescantia Tricolor (Pink Inch Plant) 

I think that’s a tradescantia nanouk. I rescued mine as well from Home Depot 🙂

Will you post an update please?! 😊

I bought a 4” and I’ve repotted 3x and sent cuttings to California. It won’t stop growing....EVERYWHERE

Great video. I rescued mine from Walmart yesterday evening. I'm thinking it go too much sun. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for video🥳🌱

I have very little luck with these plants however I just got another one and going to try again! Lol

looks like a case of over watering, once you get the plant rooted, water once a week and fertilize once a month during the spring and summer

What is the best preventative bug spray for this plant?

RE: Terra Cotta Pots The size for the pot costs about $5.50 plus taxes at Home Depot which locates in Houston, Texas. And the saucer costs $5.98 plus taxes. I am not down to the penny. Have a blessed New Year 2021.

I've separated the roots of mine it done fine

Does it need that deep of a pot. Just got one myself.🙂

You definitely over watered it

Could you share an update about the tradescantia. Seems like root rot. Did it survive after cutting back the roots? I have one that's having some similar issue, just wondering if I need to cut the rotted roots, repot along with some additional steps like using chlorine? Any advice?

You do not need to water it that much after repotting if it was already in moist soil.. You drowned that thing lol I’m curious did it survive?

Where did you find the terra cotta pots? The terra cotta pots here cost more than the plant..

I would cut the straggly growth off. It’s taking to much energy for the root system.

RIP mine lol

Brow spots come when water 💦 splashes on the leaves

I have the same problem when they get a little bigger … do not know why

I hope you live alone in your apartment because of the mess you made unnecessarily. First, when transplanting anything, please protect the table you are doing it on with a plastic bag. Second, if the plant you want to transplant has no roots at all, you must first cut it shorter and put it in water until it grows roots. You obviously don't like plastic for some reason, but plastic pots are way better than ceramic ones. In addition, you have chosen a pot that is too big for such small plants. And in the end, you watered them so much that it was a real crime! Good luck, but my advice is plastic pots and less watering if you keep tradescantias exclusively in the apartment. Mine are outside and flourishing, and in the summer they drink like crazy, but I never water them before checking if the soil is dry or humid with soil meter which can reach the bottom of the pot. Good luck, but this was really hard to watch, poor plants.
