Tradescantia Nanouk care and propagation 

My name is nanouk and i never heard about this plant before. thanks for sharing

You did explain just like a PROF. No one ever did this. Thank You for all Your help. Well done.

I can’t believe I never thought to use a pencil to start a hole for the cuttings. I usually just use my finger and make a huge mess. Great video! Thanks for all the tips!

I found a small nanouk plant at my grocery store on clearance for only $2.49 so I’m excited to help it grow into a large beautiful plant

I bought a tradescantia zebrina. About a year ago and it has grown so much I have propagated it over and over and over again I've given it away to so many people my mailman my delivery guy anybody that comes to my house leaves with a tradescantia zebrina LOL I have a few others and I love how quickly they grow and their little flowers are so cute thank you for this video. I wasn't sure about getting one of these but thanks to you I think I'm going to try it. I was on the fence about lecca but now I think you have made up my mind for me I don't think I'm going to try it I've got a few hundred dollars invested in my plants not only that but my heart is invested in my plants also so I don't want to take a risk of losing any of them. I think I'll stick with what I know thank you very much I look forward to watching more of your videos you're a great guy.

This video took months to make. Thank you for waiting and showing us authentic results! Subscribed!

I was definitely giving mine a little too much care… lol didn’t realize how easy this plant is to take care of! Thank you! Subscribed! ❤

For Tradescantia Sillamontana, it’s essential to keep the roots dry. I grow them under white LED lights and managed to propagate successfully. Feed them with a diluted seaweed fertilizer and they are thriving. I dip the stem in rooting hormone first and put them in a glass jar with the tips submerged in 2-3 mm of water only. Top up when the jar is almost dry. It will grow roots in about 7-10 days. After that I grew them in a cactus potting mixture with 20% sand to prevent root rot. So far , I haven’t encountered root rot yet. I use the same method for the Nanouk.

Great video Sean! Tradescantia are a lot of fun. You’re right they’re sensitive to being overwatered and leaves will crisp up when they receive too much water (making us think that they’re dehydrated and want more water). Especially the varieties with very thick succulent stems/leaves like Nanouk and the Sillamontana (the fuzzy one). The Sillamontana is a desert species, it enjoys a fast draining airy soil mix, lower humidity and drying out between waterings. They can get leggy with longer internodes if they’re not receiving enough bright light/sunlight. More light will keep the plant looking fuller with more leaves, shorter internodes. It looks like you’re doing an awesome job with your babies. ☀️🌱

Thanks for this video! For tradescantia there are so many wrong care instructions. I found it most happy when I forgot to water it, haha. I think we can't say enough times that this plant hates to be overwatered. Most other tradescantia varieties are the same. Just got a tiny cutting of this species at a local plant nursery in Berlin and I hope it will thrive. 🌿💚

Your yard is straight out of a magical forest!! Thanks for the video!

I just bought this plant a few weeks ago and have been scouring the web looking for tips, do's and don'ts and this has been the most helpful and informational video I've come across! Thank you for sharing!

Great video, I got a small one 6 months ago and I have already gotten 5 plants from the little guy. One of the easiest plants to grow and makes great gifts.

Yay you talked about Tradescantia Nanouk. I love mine so much! It's so pink and pretty. 💕

I got a Nanouk off the discount rack. When I first saw it I thought it was on the discount rack cuz the poor thing had obviously been dropped of his head. I took him home thinking maybe my mom could help me nurse him only to discover that he was in much worse shape than I thought. He was getting bad root rot and we had to get rid of most of the plant, but he’s now growing back very well and sharing his pot with a Zebrena actually.

I just got one for Christmas so happy to learn about this beautiful plant.

Just ordered one and found this video! Truly do appreciate your content and knowledge!

Thank you so much!! I have been looking for a video to propagate this variation and your time lapse was incredibly helpful. Again thank you!

I did the same thing. Found one of these pieces in my flowers I purchased . Didn’t realize how fast the roots start growing after propagating it. Quite a surprise!

I bought my trandescantia nanouk last fall. Although the growth rate is very slow I’m happy that it survived the harsh Canadian winter. Can’t wait for the real summer to be here so I can move it outside. Now that I watched your video, I’ll try to propagate and hopefully I’ll have a bountiful growth. Terima kasih Sean.

Thank you for showing how easy it really is. You show everything you need to know to prop and give to friends :) such a beautiful plant. I love the reverted green one also. 😍

Really appreciate the followup videos to the propagation!! Thank you

Just got mine today as a Valentine's Day gift from my family. So glad found your informative video! Thank you!

Thank you, this video helped me a lot! I got my tradescantia nanouk yesterday and I love her so much!

This video is the reason why I officially wanted to become a plant mom! I’ve had my little Luna for a year, it’s been thru so much but she is strong and thriving so many compliments when they see her, thank you!!!!!

You are correct Sean. The plant at 17.00 is a Tradescantia spathacea tricolour. Aka roheo tricolour or boat lily or Oyster plant.

Thank you for sharing all of the updates! It was cool to see how the cuttings were doing over time. Also, now I am inspired to trim and replant my Tradescantia-Purple Queen!

Just picked one of these up at my grocery store for $6. Love it!

I’ve been waiting for this one! Thank you.

Thank you so much! I'm a complete novice and wanting to get one of these, but I was lacking confidence that I could keep it healthy. Now I feel like I have enough information to try! This is such a great, wholesome content - thank you again!

Love to propagate these, it is so satisfying! Super fun for kids too. Great teaching tool.

I reaaaalllllyyyy like your energy. I'm watching for the vibes

Thanks, Patrick for darling my interest in tradescantia!

It’s a beautiful plant and I love the pink purple color! Thank you for the tips.

There’s not too many videos on this plant! Thanks for the awesome care tips. I was sold an over watered pot of nanouk that rotted in no time, but now I restarted with one single cutting. Fingers crossed it thrives 😁 Ps: cool wrist tattoo!!

I love that you include the updates already. Keep up the great work. I looove love your videos

Lovely!!! I’m very new in planting and I just bought Tradescantia plant this week without knowing how to take care or propagate it, just because it’s so pretty. Found your video at the right time. So, Thank you. I also focused on your background plants… they all look so healthy!! ❤️❤️❤️

I learnt something new about the string in leca ... Thank you 😘

Love the video! Tradescantia is a beautiful plant! Just today I propagate mine! 💛 Thnks for the tips!! 🙌🏼

So helpful! Just bought one for 13 dollars. I hope it does well, it caught my eye immediately

Very thorough video. I found it helpful as I started mine from a cutting, and it rooted in water very quickly. I will try propagation again to fill out my pot as well.

Tnx for information. Loved this plant. Never saw it before until I got a .plant at my doctor's office.

Good morning and thank you for sharing the amazing video the plant is very beautiful have a blessed day

Thank you so.much Sean! Very informative video. I love the colours of the leave. Was trying to save my plant as they not doing well. Your video came juz in time.🥰

i love your tutorials. so clear and easy to understand. thank you!

Thanks for the insight. My wife grew up in Indonesia. We both enjoy your help.

wonderful video. I had my nanouk in very large pots and they started to rot, so I repotted in several smaller pots and voila! so much better.

Thank you, just received one as a gift and needed to know how to properly take care of it.

I just bought one of these the other day. It caught my eye right away and had to have it. I've also visited Bali a few times. It was my favorite place to visit in Asia.

My mom had bought me one from the grocery store and it just kept growing and growing, my husband walked by one day and accidently broke off a piece so I put it in a cup of water and it rooted in a couple of days! I've now taken off a couple of clippings and theyre doing amazing, the first plant ive ever had that I didn't need to look up care for ☺ I'm here today because I wasn't sure if it should be growing upward or hanging, thanks for this amazing video ❤

I love the color of tradescantia so beautiful.

Awesome video. I just purchase one of these and learned a lot from the propagation content🤗

So glad to see you trying out leca! I love it. And my nanouk is so happy in leca! 💚

Mine started very small (I got it as a gift almost a year ago) and it has gotten huge! I stumbled upon this video while trying to figure out how to properly do a cutting. I have never done it before but you make it look so easy and I am not nervous anymore. I learned a lot from you and I just subscribed. Thank you!!😄

I binge watched a lot of your videos, when I bought this plant I knew you were the guy to teach me their care!!!❤ thank you so much!!!🥰

Thank God for this video. I thought i needed to keep her soul moist at all times

Thank you, I learned a lot from you. Now I want this plant. Never had this type of plant 🪴. Thank you again

Thank you very much for explaining details. I just bought this plant at the Lowe’s I think I’m going to love it.

Great timing, I just got one for Christmas 🎄 😀

👍 I wanted to propagate mine and here you are with this great video! Thanks so much! Also, I didn't know Nanouk could revert. 👀

You are the best !!! Very clear and helpful explanation

wow I learned something new about this plant thank you

Your video just popped while I was searching information on Tradescantia. Subscribed. I gained so much confidence on propagation after watching your video. Going try the water propagation maybe on next two weeks. Will come back with the result. Thank you so much. Love your Channel.

Loved the video as it showed detail, before and after, comparisons. Perfect explanation thankyou, have subscribed

Great information. We live in a hillsides of west Canada and the climate is very dry. My nanouk is 100% same color as yours. I never knew how easy it's to propagate actually, untill I just saw it, I'm definitely will make few cuttings to plant it back and make it look a bit bushier. Thank for your video.

Great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge!

I just bought this plant. Thankt for the video

Great detailed video on propagating - I love my nanouk! Bought it with a lot of pink but some leaves had already gone green. May transfer them off to another pot. Have been thinking of propagating it for a while now but wasn’t sure.. will do so now I know the best way thanks! 😊👏🙏

I'm digging your video. I am surprised at how expensive they are in Indonesia. I found these for the first time and bought two 3 inch pots for $3.00 US. It's thriving but does grow much more slowly than my other transcandantias.

Thank you so much for your vlog. Was able to save my nanuok in time. Followed your advices. Keep safe and healthy

I was gifted one this past december so thank you for this very very helpful video!!!

I love this plant going to add this to my collection Insha Allah today💗

Muchas gracias por la información era justo lo que buscaba ver.

mine is by far my fastest grower. I keep it right in front of a south window. I've recently moved it into a propagation box so I can grow it even more

Ayer compré esta hermosa planta, gracias por este video tan útil, amo las plantas y me intereso por saber cómo cuidarlas

This is my favourite variety of Tradescantias. I like it growing straight and the bright colours. Absolutely beautiful. And yes, overwatering is a problem for this variety, even though Tradescantias are the best plants especially for beginners, as they grow so easy and fast 💜 Thanks for the video, Sean.

I’m so glad I found this I’ve had this plant for a few months and it grew like a weed and the taller stems are too long to stand up now and are just hanging out of the pot lol 😂 time to give her a little trimmy trim 💖

i like your video. i love seeing the results of the growth!

Another of my favourites, I will leave mine till it warms up in Spring, then start propagation as it's leggy, want a nice full plant like yours.

Great video! So informational and thank you for following up on the cuttings :)

Beautiful Wandering Jew Plant.

Great Video, Thanks . I have mine just like yours in my Room next to the window and also at Night I turn on the Growing Lights for them and more Stems coming up from the Soil. is amazing ,Grateful Plant.

Hi Sean! I just got a pot of tradescantia nanouk and loving all this information from this video. Really loving the rich purple-pink on the underside of the leaves and hoping with this info from your video it will fare well under my 'care'. ❤🌱🌸

I love your garden.

Im inlove! This is a beauty!💖

love your video ! very informative with updates 😊👍🏻 thank you so much

Thank you! This is so helpful!

Im excited to have mine tomorrow yehey thanks for this video

Thank you so much for sharing ! Most enriching !

Yay thanks for the video cos I just got my own nanouk! I am obsessed with trandescantia hehe :) that pink one at the end is T. spathacea. For my T. sillamontana, I just leave it hanging under a tree where it gets a lot of bright light. These are actually grown the same way as succulents here in the Philippines. I barely water it and just let the rain handle it and each stem is almost a foot long! I should probably propagate it like you have done here with your nanouk. So inspiring honestly cos im usually anxious when it comes to propagating my fave plants hahaha

Glad I found this video! Now I know to be careful not to over water

amazing video! Super informational thanks for sharing!

16:53 You're right, it is a tradescantia, it is called Tradescantia spathacea (Rhoeo discolor / tricolor). I just love it!

Really nice plant , ang bilis pla mag dami.

I absolutely love them and I am so happy I have found what makes them happy after loosing so many I was determined to continue buying them until I found the suitable condition. appreciate your advice so helpful for this type of plant

So helpful and informative, thank you!!!!!!

I just ordered one of these from Etsy! I am very excited to get it and see what I can do with it!

Beautiful transcantia nanuk 💖🌸

Thanks to you.. now, I finally know how to treat them 😄💞

Oh wow, this comes too late ^^ but I learned so much about the 4 little cuttings I still have left after thoroughly watering my Nanouk....thank you Sean! kamu sangat baik
